Not since Sarah Palin abruptly quit being a Governor, not even since Edward VIII abruptly quit being a King, has Lake County been this surprised over a resignation statement.

Well said Mr. Eye.
Rabattini is an absolute disaster for this village. High school drama, with all the bad grammar.
She still writes about herself in the third person on the blog that she writes herself.
No clue nitwit. Her and Suzy could be good buddies.
