Q the Eye/03.04.13

Dear LakeCountyEye,

I am envious. Your blog picks up more scoops than a custodian at the elephant house. Who is leaking all of your stories?

Julian Assange

Dear Julian Assange (If That's Your Real Name),

This may come as a surprise to operatives, but Lake and Cook are not the only two Chicago-area counties. There are some other counties up here as well, with names like McHenry and DuPage. And on top of that, all of your LakeCountyEye's scoops come from one source ...

CountyLeaks

which is a blog that leaks stories about the funny business that goes on in those other counties -- like McHenry and DuPage. In other words, your LakeCountyEye's gumshoeing is all outsourced abroad. Haha, who would have guessed?

Now your LakeCountyEye consults the outstanding CountyLeaks so you don't have to. But that shouldn't stop sharpeyed operatives from seeing for themselves what they are getting away with in those other counties. In fact you are one click away -- there is a handy CountyLeaks link on the right column of this blog, look under Local Blogs of Note.

Operatives who visit CountyLeaks will immediately notice that they quote your LakeCountyEye on their masthead ...

Your LakeCountyEye is no doubt flattered. There are not, however, many, if any, hyperlinks to be found on CountyLeaks that crosslink back to this blog. Like the ones you see in column on the right here. That's probably to too much to hope for.

If you are an elected official, or a previously elected official, or just a private citizen under indictment, send your political questions to Q the Eye c/o ... LakeCountyEye@gMail.com
