Anonymous tip on Wogen's current residence

It has been reported that Slick 'I don't know where that smear mailer came from' (or is it 'I didn't push her'?) Vic is living on Laurel Lane, which is in the Second Ward (just click the links to check the maps for yourself).

If you have a problem with an alderman living outside the ward he is supposed to represent, then please contact the mayor to express your concern:

Mayor Kris Povlsen

City of DeKalb
200 South Fourth Street
Room 203
DeKalb, IL 60115

Email: kris.povlsen@cityofdekalb.com
Phone: 815-748-2099

Note: Wogen Watch encourages you to send an email to the Mayor and request that he respond in writing so he can't feed you misinformation over the phone that can later be denied.

Where are the June 11th minutes?

Anonymous message received on Thursday, July 5, 2007.

As of 4:30 p.m., Thursday, July 5th, the minutes for the June 11th meeting are not on the City of DeKalb web site in violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act. City Clerk Donna Johnson has seven days to make approved meeting minutes available to the public, and if a city has a web site, that includes posting them on the web, too.

Please refer to: (5 ILCS 120/2.06) (from Ch. 102, par. 42.06), Sec. 2.06. Minutes, 3 (b) at the Text of Statute link at:

Attorney General Lisa Madigan's Office would be happy to provide training on both the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act as described here:

Also, Steve Kapitan complained about Johnson's minutes during the interchange with Steve Irving at the meeting on February 26th. He was pretty steamed about it. Kapitan questioned what Johnson wrote down as minutes and he did not like what was written about him in the minutes for the February 12th meeting. When questioned, Johnson replied that she only writes down a summary of what she heard.
