    The electric bill for the WSRC is $100,000.00 for the month of August.

    A Walmart calculator puts the basic utilitites at $111,000.00 to open for the month. Park rangers, State Highway Patrol, and union workers are other costs.

    Merlo out!

    Merlo,

    John,

    Someone called previous invoices fake some time ago, so I sent my own Freedom of Information Act request into the IDNR FOIA Office requesting copies of the WSRC Electric invoices, so I would know if they were fake or not. They sent them to me and they looked the same as the ones posted above. So I posted the copies on the thread a couple months ago and stated that they were authentic.

    I believe the above invoice is authentic. Just my opinion.


    If you wish to satisfy the authenticity in your own mind, you can either submit your own FOIA Request or I'd be happy to do it for you and post the documents I receive on here. Let me know how you wish to proceed. If you would not trust any documents I would upload as authentic, then you had better make the request yourself.

    My comments regarding the authenticity of the WSRC Electric bills can be seen on WSRC Electric Bill Looks Fake thread that I created on June 30th. I don't recall who said the earlier electric invoices looked fake and it really doesn't matter. I verified they were not fake for myself and shared the documents fellow readers.

    My response letter from the FOIA Office and two (2) authentic electric invoices they sent me are posted there for those who would like to read it.

    We need folks like John on the forum. What if Merlo was running around making counterfeit WSRC invoices. We need John questioning these things. If John hadn't called the first set of invoices fake HB might not have filed his own foia requests.

    I guess I could see if there was a valid reason to make up a phony invoice for whatever reason, but honestly cannot think of one right off hand ... Some (many ) people do not want to accept some as in many facts regarding some things in life, not sure an electric or water/sewer bill would or should have such impact to be questioned that it should or would be used to cause such a stir ... I have noticed not one word has been divulged to the membership about cost versus generated income of the last grand American in Sparta, Ill ... This, I feel is a good to great cause for suspicion on behalf of the membership and should be questioned until answers are given ... Water, sewer, electric, workers, employees, targets, repairs are all a part of it and need to be posted so everyone, not just the ones who need to know can look at and digest the total picture ... The ATA ED, EC, CHC, and some of the BOD will lie to make all look good in Mudsville, but not saying anything does not reflect well even though it is or has been deemed normal operating procedures over the past 15/ 20 years ... Some thing change for the better, some for the worse, and some just change ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Good point FG !!!

    Exact reasons the ATA membership are asking questions. How are we to know if we don't...

    They should welcome these questions from the membership as well.

    Perhaps someone on the BOD, EC,,Etc. will take the time to seek out the answers to our many questions that have been raised hear.

    Thanks HB for all the confirmation you have made attempts to get...

    A Second person doing this is enough proof for me !

    Not that I doubted Merlo one bit in the past, but this put's any idea of a Fake Document to rest !!!

    Thanks FG. At least someone can recognize a valid question when they see one. WPT (YAC) or what ever he wants to be called, not so much.

    John,
    MR. WPT (YAC) to you ... Valid is only in ones own mind , to others it might seem stupid ... Not saying your question was stupid, just saying in other people minds it might of been, not mine though ... MR. WPT ... (YAC) ...

    John, while on the valid question issue.....the big "valid question" then is to you, now that you have found out the invoices are real what is your opinion? Your opinion must be strong as you have thought there was reason to forge these IOU's.

    So assuming you are correct that there was reason to forge them what is your opinion now that they have been authenticated?

    FG, you will get the same response he gave the last time he said they were fake and HB proved him WRONG.

    Call me crazy but I think John zinged me in that one post ... HB told him how to authenticate the Bills (invoices) on his own if that's what it took to cure his suspicions, no word yet how that's working for him ... I have often said there are times you are better off talking to the Toaster, not saying this is one of them but dog gone close to it from where I am sitting ... I think we need a "Current Event's section" so we can go and search for specific things that we may or may not have doubts about, members, shells, guns, bills, attendance, miles to and from certain a place and if a club is up hill in both directions ... Just a thought and keep in mind my pain meds are kicking in so the toaster might make better sense ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Could be John does not understand the implications these invoices have. You guys may be giving the local toaster too much credit.
    WPT....stay out of the bathtub when you are having that discussion!
