Recently Quincy Mayor Kyle Moore, a member of the Knapheide party (He bought him, he owns him, he is liable) was mentioned by a statewide conservative news organization for property tax increases as well as wasteful spending of taxpayers dollars. Please see the link below to read the whole story.
We have one question to ask our little tax and spend mayor.
WHY DID A 20 SOMETHING ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT / SECRETARY MAKE THIS TRIP ON TAXPAYERS MONEY?????

MOORE PUBLIC SAFETY LIES!!
Kyle Moore has been promoting QTAP as his public safety plan to sell the residents of our community that he is not failing in public safety. We have heard this in all his political ads, press conferences etc. He knows that the people of this community do not feel as safe as they did four years ago. He has tried to twist and lie to us about crime statistics in an attempt to dismiss his failings on this subject.
QTAP has merit. If Chief Copley is on board, then we as a community should embrace this program. Our professional chief has worked hard attempting to protect the citizens of this community. We know that Chief Copley has put in tireless hours to ensure this program works.
Copley is recently quoted in a March 29, 2017, WGEM interview and article,
"In order to get the Quincy Turn Around Program, or QTAP, running, QPD needs two more officers. Right now that's not in the plans."
"We had them originally in the budget that we're preparing for next fiscal year," Copley explained. "They've since been removed. I was directed to remove them from the budget."
What? We thought this was the little mayors pet project? He was going to actually make an attempt to work on public safety for the first time during his tenure! That's what he has been telling us ever since his reelection began! Now he pulls the funding for this program? He wouldn't lie to us, would he?
But alas, the same WGEM article confirmed that Moore pulled the funding for this program.
"During Tuesday's mayoral debate, Mayor Kyle Moore touted the QTAP program as a way to combat the rising crime rate. However, he confirmed Wednesday, that as of now, the money needed to hire the officers for the program isn't in the budget."
MOORE HAS INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO DECEIVE YOU!
HE HAS PULLED THE FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM IN THE 23 HOUR THINKING HE COULD SNEAK THIS ONE BY US!
SORRY CHIEF! HE HAS LIED TO US TOO!

MOORE FAKE RESERVES!!
We have to admit, we made a mistake and have used the wrong language in regards to the Moore administrations reserves claim. We have been calling them "Fake" because after a snapshot of the reserve funds we believed that he had just depleted one in order to inflate another.
In an effort to make sure we weren't making inaccurate statements in regards to the cities finance's, we consulted a CPA with expertise in governmental accounting and audits. We requested that he look at the city audits from 2013 until present. He presented us with a financial report card. What he found was much, much, more than we had originally thought. All the information from his report can be found on the City of Quincy's website at: http://www.quincyil.gov/government/CityDepartments/comptrollers/financial-statements
Here is a copy of the report that he provided us.

As you can see from this report, the Moore administration has lied to us for 3 straight years!
Moore has not raised the City of Quincy's Reserves, He has substantially lowered them!
Moore has attempted to TRICK you with his election PROPAGANDA!!!!
Here is an old school tune that we found quite fitting! Enjoy your Tuesday morning! Don't let him steal your chain!

MOORE FAKE RESERVES MEANS LESS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, PART 2
The Moore administrations fake reserves have reared their ugly head again! A couple weeks ago it was fire engines breaking down three times in one week! This past week we were once again collecting RECYCLE in garbage trucks because the Moore administration thinks it is more important to try to create his FAKE reserves then to fix taxpayers assets!
For those of you not in the know, we have been picking up RECYCLE quite a bit the past couple years with garbage trucks. When this happens, we actually pay the vendor to take and sort the recycle instead of them paying us for the product!

Several months this year alone, we have been paying the recycle company instead of them paying us!
Its has gotten so bad that this is how we now identify recycle trucks and garbage trucks!
"G" for Garbage truck
"R" for recycle truck
IS THIS WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR WITH OUR INCREASED STICKER PRICES? (remember, our garbage program is paid for by our real estate taxes, the recycle program is paid for by the stickers)
Recycle going into a garbage truck, WE PAY THE RECYCLE COMPANY OUR TAXPAYER MONEY FOR THIS!!! (instead of them paying us for the product)
AND DON'T FORGET...... "According to a December 18, 2013 Quincy Herald Whig article. "Moore instead proposes the city continue providing that service and increasing the price of garbage stickers to $1.50" and ""I think $1.50 is palatable," he said of the sticker cost." MOORE WANTED TO RAISE YOUR GARBAGE FEES 200 PERCENT!
WHY? SO HE COULD PAY THE RECYCLE COMPANY MORE OF OUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS????

MOORE LIES, part 2365
In case you missed it!! Recently the Quincy Herald Whig called out Kyle Moore on one of his multitude of lies!!!!
,
Here is the excerpt from the Quincy Herald Whig, March 4th 2017, by political writer Doug Wilson.
"Moore counters that VanCamp's "record is one of raising countless fees and taxes on local residents without restraint" while on the Quincy Park Board.
However, tax records indicate the tax rate for the Park District fell to 54.029 cents per $100 assessed valuation in the 2014 tax year, which was collected the year VanCamp went off the board. That rate was about 1.5 cents lower than the previous year."
And in one of Moore's recent POLITICAL ADS, Moore claims he is not a POLITICIAN after being in POLITICAL office for 8 years!!
Guess he thinks he can sell us....
MOORE LIES!
Meme disclaimer - the quoted words are his, not ours.

MOORE FAKE RESERVES EQUALS LESS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE!!
For those of you who hadn't heard, our Fire Department had TWO engines break down on the same day this past Saturday. This forced our Firemen to operate two backup trucks. If one more engine goes down prior to these being fixed, one of our fire stations will be forced to close until the engines are fixed!
The Moore Administration cancelled the purchase of a new engine a couple years ago when they closed Station 6. Moore wants to brag about his fake reserves while OUR equipment and public safety is deteriorating before our eyes!!

ENGINE 3 TOWED INTO THE SHOP THE SAME DAY!!!

MOORE BUDGET LIES!!!
For the past three and a half years, Kyle Moore has been running around claiming that he had the first balanced budget in Quincy history. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE!! Its about as factual as if we here at this site claimed to have created the internet!
This last week for some reason he has decided to change his tune and claim he has the first balanced budget since 1999. ONCE AGAIN A BLATANT LIE! Why has Moore changed his story now? Our best guess would be that one of Moores contributors David Nuessen got a little embarrassed from being asked why he didn't have a balanced budget (which he did) when he was mayor. Moore decided it was best to change ONE LIE TO ANOTHER LIE!
We decided to delve into this matter a little deeper and checked Moore's voting record when he was on the city council. What we found was actually quite interesting. Moore voted in favor of the Spring administrations budget in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013
So either Moore voted for unbalanced budgets and is a hypocrite or HE IS LYING ONCE AGAIN! No two ways around it!

Here's the cold hard fact!
ILLINOIS MUNICIPALITIES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A BALANCED BUDGET BY STATE LAW!!!!
(50 ILCS 330/) Illinois Municipal Budget Law
you can view it here
(65 ILCS 5/) Illinois Municipal Code.
Otherwise know as the Illinois Municipal Auditing Law
you can view it here
MOORE MUST THINK IF HE TELLS US THIS LIE
ENOUGH TIMES WE WILL BELIEVE IT!!!
