For the last few weeks I’ve been patiently going about my business; silently waiting for the other shoe to drop on Park Ridge’s Senior Center Members, including their long time negotiating representatives, Park Ridge Senior Services, Inc. (SSI), a 501-C3. In the mean time, I have been right here, content to watch a magnificent bit of banter between Park Ridge Senior Center Senator, Ms. Helen Roppel and Park Ridge PublicWatchdog’s own Robert Trizna.
Leadership - Wynn-Ryan/Biagi/Brandt Style!
Well, the other shoe has finally dropped – in the form of a manifesto titled: “Cooperative Guidelines for Park Ridge Recreation and Park District & Park Ridge Senior Services, Inc.” This documents unreasonable demands, in my opinion, can only be interoperated one way:
“If you stay in my house – you live by my rules!”.
The on-going Park Board/Senior Center farce has come down to this new – absurd document. Friends, I would love to display this new information today. However, I’m not yet at liberty to publically display these “Guidelines”, having agreed to withhold the documents release until the Seniors have had an opportunity to read the manifesto for themselves.
So who’s to blame for this mess?
If you ask the Wynn-Ryan/Biagi/Brandt led Board, they’ll probably blame it all on those pesky Seniors. If you ask the Senior Center leaders, they’ll blame it on PRPD’s non-communicative intransigent Board of Commissioners.
Well, I say we need to place blame where it really belongs!
Stay tuned!

Mr. B,
Love the South Park video. Yes! Blame Canada!
Haven't you moved to the Niles or Des Plaines Senior Center yet?
There's the door...
Mr. Butterly:
Thanks for the "plug" (and the link), but for accuracy's sake it's "PublicWatchdog" at www.publicwatchdog.org.
And, just to keep the debate going, what's wrong with "If you stay in my house – you live by my rules" - either in the public or the private sectors?
Mr. Trizna,
Sorry about the inaccuracies. I'll fix them right away. As to you question, I need some clarification first. Have you seen a copy of the Cooperative Guidelines? Your yes or no will help me frame my answer.
Thanks!
Mr. Butterly:
I have not seen a copy of them, so you have me at a slight disadvantage as to their contents - although that may be unimportant, as my question was a purely "policy" one and not directed at the Cooperative Guidelines themselves.
