General Overview

People come and people go.   Businesses start and businesses fail.  Products work or they don’t.

The Midlothian Roll Call is designed to bring together under one roof the information behind identities listed in two public domain documents:  The official Village Board Meeting minutes and The Midlothian Tartan Tidings.  The purpose for this is so that citizens can participate in the due diligence process of researching various existing vendors or even proposed new vendors, as well as have the potential for quickly identifying who might…or might not…be responsible for reconciling a grievance or complaint concerning the Village.

Although you are welcome to use the right-hand side bar as your main tool for research (including the search bar in the upper right-hand corner), you can also scroll through the list in alphabetical order.  Click here for full names and click here for acronyms

Please remember that information is ever-changing and data published here may or may not be timely and accurate.  When available, I have done my best to link to relatively credible sources for data, however I cannot vouch for their own publications and recommend you to call.

It is also important to note that the Village of Midlothian has historically been neglectful and sloppy with their obligation to properly identify those who somehow were brought up in conversation during a board meeting, which is why I have gone ahead and listed all variances displayed between 1997 and 2008 as they are displayed in the meeting minutes.

It remains the public position of The Midlothian Illinois Record that each individual that approved each of these board meeting minutes should be held accountable for deceptive and unscrupulous record-keeping practices such as using only acronyms to identify a party being recorded as having conducted and/or transacted business with the Village.

The Illinois Municipal League (IML), the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association (SSMMA) and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) are four of the top 8 ranking acronyms that show up in board meeting minutes with zero expansion of the acronym, thereby rendering such a record of their identity and participation with the Village to be misleading and additionally burdensome to identify and at the expense and burden of the taxpayer.

It means that if I had not taken time to attach at least one additional tag to each acronym entry expanding on the identity, no one would  receive any positive results if they were to search for the Illinois Municipal League and they are one of the highest ranking participating voices in these board meeting minutes for over 10 years!

This record-keeping tactic is nothing less than deceitful.

It’s intentional deceit because no board meeting minutes collection reflects a rejection of any of the previous board meeting minutes.

That’s intentional deceit structured to add excessive burden to the citizen to learn even the most basic of truths about the internal operations of this municipality.

Therefore, if there is any confusion whatsoever as to the actual legal names of business and/or individual, this is actually an entire collection of people who wrote, edited, published, approved and then published again each of these board meeting minutes and the Midlothian Tartan Tidings over the past 10 years and they all collectively should be held accountable for approving such garbage to be published using the Corporate Seal of the Village of Midlothian.

The general population of the community continues to deserve far better than what they have been receiving from their public officials throughout the State of Illinois and especially Midlothian, so until the day Midlothian can take over these types of publishing responsibilities on a steady and reliable manner…

and although I will remain unsteady and unreliable as to how frequent I can update The Midlothian Illinois Record and all of its blogs…
