While Tutty usually does not like to delve into the personal lives of public officials. Tutty feels that it is necessary at this point.
In a recent Journal-Standard article regarding Bill Hadley's candidacy for Stephenson County Board, someone going by the title of "Fuboy" (the Journal-Standard should know who it is) put two very libelous comments on the internet version of the Journal-Standard article. Anonymously and without foundation Fuboy made all sorts of nasty allegations regarding the personal life of Bill Hadley. The newspaper, after first approving the posting of a clearly personal and libelous attack on Bill Hadley has since removed the post.
It is no secret that John Blum does not like Bill Hadley. John Blum, using an effective whisper campaign against Hadley worked hard to have his yes man, Pete Willging, elected over Hadley four years ago.
In 2006 Hadley was the only member of the Stephenson County Board to vote against the $6 million debt for Mill Race Crossing.
Clearly, the person or persons that are working to libel Bill Hadley are John Blum supporters. Unfortunately for John Blum supporters, their only hope is a whisper campaign of misinformation to disparage anyone that speaks against Blum.
These people seem to forget that in 1995 a woman who is not John Blum's wife had an order of protection granted against John Blum. Here is a link to the factual documentation.

Unlike anonymous comments to the Journal-Standard and the newspaper itself, Tutty does not make claims that cannot be substantiated with factual documentation.
Tutty thinks it would be very interesting if someone would dig up the eleven pieces of evidence that were used to convince the 15th Judicial Circuit Court to grant an order of protection against John Blum.
Why would anyone in their right mind vote for or support a woman beater in any way shape or form?

Hooray for Bill Hadley. He was one of the best board members that ever served and it looks like he is in unless they run someone against him in the general election.
