Janiec

After listening to the entire conversation, janiecs story does not pass the smell test. One other observation, why was it so hard for janiec to just say 'ok I won't go to the restaurant on Saturday mornings anymore.'? The corporal tried 7-8 times to end the conversation and janiec kept making excuses on why he was there, with a gun, and failed over and over to simply say 'ok I won't go to that restaurant on Saturday mornings anymore.' It was clear that this officer felt janiecs actions constituted stalking. She basically called him a stalker 3-4 times.

Oh yeah. The officer was clearly warning him and felt that his actions constituted a possible threat or intimidation.

The backbiting the Republicans are engaging in is priceless.......

It seems entirely scary, but it seems the Lake County Republicans have as many ethical issues as the Lake County Democrats. They just hold enough power to have those lapses cause an impact.

Kim Krull and Kim Poland have played favoritism and engaged in some pretty shady tactics to try and control candidates. Someone that has talked to Dave Hacker claims that George Janiec was at a meeting of Hammond Mayoral Candidates before he declared for office, supposedly at the behest of Kim Krull. During that meeting George Janiec, in full presence of the supposedly impartial Kim Poland, urged every other Republican candidate to pull out of the race so George could have support. All during a meeting that George should have never been at, as he was an undeclared candidate. Is this the type of leadership that will help the Lake County Republican Party progress?

In addition you have Dave Hacker, running around with a lot of former Dedelow supporters, urging all the other candidates to get out of the race. From my understanding it's a bunch of businessmen that profited off of Dedelow, then bet on the wrong horse and now want back to their place at the cookie jar.

How many hours does a school board member work and get paid for?

How much do they get paid? Just curious.

hmmm. do we really want a guy like this representing the school city? i mean if the mayor were in an incident like this with a gun and it were publicized...wouldnt there be reasonable calls for him to step down?

seriously i think someone needs to bring this incident to the attention of the school board and maybe even call for his resignation. i dont think im the guy to do it, as it would be called a partisain attack (and we know a school board meeting isnt the place for such a thing) but if any of you out there that arent connected to anyones campaign has nothing to do next monday. i think it would be a worthy thing to do for the community. and make sure to spell your name loud and clear for the reporter also.

ok i stumbled across something janiec himself wrote. now i freely admit it is taken out of context. but its surely no coincidence that janiec could so eloquenty espouse such a belief

link to letter george wrote including the paragraph below http://bluecountyredstate.blogspot.com/2010/09/janiec-responds-to-incident-in-highland.html . mind you hes defending himself against an allegation of stalking fellow republicans with a gun at his side.

"Buying name recognition is expensive and we aren't the party of cash, collectively or individually. Earning name recognition requires heavy involvement, years, in the community with people, organizations and issues. Destruction of a reputation requires no money, no effort and only unfounded rumors and accusations. Quick, cheap and easy"

I read everything earlier today on that site.

what you wrote above I read, but does not make sense to me.

What do you interpret it as..?

its as if hes reminiscing about his brief rise to glory in losing the election 4 years ago. heck i know the paragraph is probably lifted from the original team hammond mission statement, but its amazingly apt at describing janiecs political career till now. and sadly pretty much every candidate for mayor in both parties has till now, been using that paragraph as a diagram for their campaigns
here we are about 3 weeks from the start of early voting...and not one of them has put forward any real ideas.

sure janiec says ill bring more jobs! and hacker promises donut in every coffee cup! while sanchez says hell make dominguez hammonds corporation council! but not a word on how they will actually run thing more then i hate mcdermott more then the other guys.

well except for saliga, but except for a small band of mccarthyites he seems to have little support currently...and again no formal platform other then the magical promise of transparency! (well matt how about being transparent and announcing a platform! or is this one of those elect me now and read about what it means later type of things)


what it all amounts too is if janiec gets back on the ballot (thanks state repub party for footing his legal bills btw) he will likely win simply because hes the more famous loser (on the ballot i mean) of them all and has more name recognition. dont get me wrong. this is a good thing for the current mayor, and ill be happy to see his reelection prospects increased by such an outcome...but it really is a sad state of affiars. for all the demogoguery and rhetoric of how bad mayor mcdermott supposedly is in their eyes. nary a word has come out from any of them about what they would actually do differently.

simple questions need to be asked

since this thread is about george ill ask them here...and limit myself to asking only him.

1) what were you doing in a highland restaurant parking lot holding a gun?
2) are you a good role model for hammond school kids as a school board member getting stopped by police for carrying a gun in public while apparently a man with a protective order against you was inside that restaurant?
3) since ya dont like college bound what do you do to the kids currently in the program and depending on it, or the homeowners who came to hammond because of it? just tell them tough luck?
4) why are you against the 500 dollar property tax rebate hammond gives to senior homeowners, with casino money btw,...is restoring the cities defunct health department more important to you?
5) youve called the cities revitalization of its parks and ball fields a waste of money. if thats the case what would you do to keep our youth occupied and out of trouble?
6) you said you'd immediately halt the wolf lake rda project even though its not city money paying for it. ok then what would you do there? how would you pay for it?
7) what do you think of the home bound program? guessing since the mayor developed it your opposed to it. ok then ...how would you promote home ownership in hammond then? i mean since ya just incentivized 500 families benefiting from college bound, 150 benfiting annually from home bound and another 4000 households owned by seniors to move out of the city you must have some sort of idea on how to lure them back? dont you?
and really dr. anaya? the same guy hammond ran out of clark and the same guy east chicago ran out of town in 4 months? thats your answer for the hammond schools?

seriously george. we need some answers. you volunteered to run for office, and are even fighting in court to do so. so these simple questions surerly arent something to shy away from. i eagerly anticipate your reply

sincerly

the quote is in georges response to the guy that posted on his blog about the incident...i posted the link to the letter in the post

This drives me crazy. Non of it makes sense in conjunction with hanging out with a gun, the conversation recorded, and then, now this link,

Is this the wild, wild WEST?

So very...controversy!

So, despite the recording, he is claiming he never had a gun? Whew, trying to keep up!

Oh, chucks, I missed reading your 6:08 p.m. Response. Never mind. I will read that. We must have been posting at the same time.

Neva'mind. Let me read it. Forget my questions.

lol

Went backwards, read your questions to him. I had the same questions in mind. The guy is nuts.

His platform is insane!

he wouldn't take the disability discount away, but wants seniors to take the hit?

Was wondering where he got the money to appeal...ran on less than five grand last time...but now deserts the kids who he really can't stand, not the disabled, but seniors also.

I think he needs to be reported to Social Security. I doubt very much he reports what he is doing, they would declare him able-Body. See, he is already stealing from tapayers. He is fit to run...he is fit to work in the private sector. HE IS ALREADY ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, BRAGGED HOW HIS DISABILITY DID NOT KEEP HIM FROM RUNNING FOR MAYOR LAST TIME, SO GET OFF THE SS PAYROLL, Janiec.

Are you all sure that wheelchair isn't for "Show and Tell", For the PARENTS?????????

Janiec has a couple of buddies who claim that George carries a gun with him at all times. He is supposed to have a bad temper also. His former wives could probably attest to this. I wouldn't want to openly disagree with him.

I'd rather him shoot me than talk me to death. He literally will hold you captive on the telephone. Now that's a skill someone is born with.

Just curious, how many times has Janiec been married and divorced and how many times has he been arrested?

Where is he, I ain't no coward. Tsp, hee.

Not to get slightly off topic, but to all the experts OTOB who are whining about Janiec being kicked off the ballot and now Carlotta Blake King being removed from her UNI position, you might want to brush up on the "Hatch Act", and what people who work for agencies that recieve Federal Funding can and can't do politically.

Thought a certain person and or persons in the past complained about her. Can't remember all the reasons.

I can tell you this much, several yers ago I was visiting the office around 3 p.m. Some filing their nails...no one able to answer my questions. Passing me off to this person or another person.

Non were able to give clear actions as to what I was asking. Perhaps it was for a new neighbor who moved in, I don't remember. It was at least four years ago, if not later.

I left disappointed. It seemed like a shell band for worthless people who didn't know what the he'll I was asking.

All in all. I walked out feeling it was just a useless agency with no monitoring. No purpose which I was led to believe they ,had a purpose, yet, it looked like everyone was enjoying time off should working, making me go through three or four people, only to be told to come back later..it was time to close shop after being in there for one or two or less hours.

I believe I went link their on behalf of a new neighbor at the time.

Which, by the way, after giving her several links, she was able to save the home, obtain a job, and takes pride in her home.

otherwise, ,she would have lost everything.

A romper room.

I can't even recall what drew me there.

The way I read the Hatch Act is, any person who is employed by, or on a Board of any agency that recieves federal subsidies, may be able to run for positions in a political party, or run for non partison elected postions. Once Georgie became a member of the school board he became a "member" of a board that recieves federal dollars, thus in order to run for Mayor, he would have to resign from the School Board. That is a Federal law, not a state law. What do I know though ? Maybe some of the leagal experts like Tiger, or JCMT can lend their legal expertise ?

Back to Janiec...... How many times has he been married and how many times has he been arrested?

AS a former mail person, I understand the Hatch Act.

What I do not understand is the do-nothing but file your finger nails agency who had no answers to ,my questions...on a Friday..waiting for closing time.

Either the agency is useless or the employees.

And my question...who would marry him? Is he that good looking...or is it the money?

It has something to do with eggs, right?

The Hatch Act has something to do with the former mayor of Gary, Richard Hatcher.
