		<description>Please, tell me what kind of rationale propels you to keep asking a question which you yourself readily provide the answer???

"What’s status of Prigge’s license to auctioneer?"
&gt;&gt;remain in good standing with the State as a licensed auctioneer,” Prigge said.&lt;&lt;

My question is rhetorical. The answer is obvious. The dirt you are 
attempting to smear Prigge with has the distinct aroma of pitbull feces on it. 

P.S. His good standing as councilman has been enhanced by his efforts to protect ALL the citizens of Elgin over the objections of a few vocal pitbull owners.</description>

		<description>What’s status of Prigge’s license to auctioneer?
Comments 

March 21, 2010 

I found this online at the Illinois Department of Financial &amp; Professional Regulation. Could you ask Councilman (John) Prigge about this?

“John Prigge May 2, 2005 

The auction license was placed on indefinite probation during which regular written reports are to be tendered to BRE and a $4,000 fine was assessed for failing to account for personality, failing to timely remit funds to several clients, for having engaged in unprofessional conduct &amp; unlicensed practice of auctioneering of his corporate entity and failing to register in accordance with the Assumed Business Name Act.” (Source: http://www.idfpr.com/DPR/RE/AuDisp.asp)

Answer: “Business complications arose seven years ago, which led to the eventual dissolving of my corporation. All claims were settled and I agreed with the decision and fine and also remain in good standing with the State as a licensed auctioneer,” Prigge said.</description>

		<description>Forget the bees and wasps.  Leave that to Orkin.

Perhaps Elgin's leaders should be looking into Mexican drug cartel operations in Elgin and the use of Elgin neighborhoods as sanctuaries for illegal alien gangsters and narcotics distributors.  Wouldn't you think that responsible political and media interests would be looking closely into the background and connections of Alejandro Campos-Rivera, the drug dealer who started all this dog business?  Where did he come from?  What was his residency status?  Who has been employing him?  Was it just a coincidence that he was in a house near a public school - part of a deteriorating school district with its own narcotics problems?            

Can't do that though...  That would mean looking into the whole racket of "immigration" that provides the cheap drugs,cheap labor and welfare environments that sustain the corrupt political and economic interests running Elgin and Illinois.  In a dysfunctional Blagojevich Model City like Elgin, what passes for leadership will waste its time and our money on trivial matters like dogs, "climate change," and 40 oz. packages of malt liquor while ignoring the real problems afflicting Elgin's remaining honest residents.</description>

		<description>"27 fatal dog attacks in Illinois... that’s attacks by ALL dogs "

No, they weren't Chihuahuas. 
Which readily puts the lie to your ilks repeated claims that all dogs are equally dangerous.

"Perhaps Mr. Prigge needs to pass a dangerous bee/hornet and wasp ordinance."

He hopefully will if you are keeping them as pets.</description>

		<description>Here's another website that covers these types of issues on a national level.

http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/in-your-state/illinois/dog-bite-fatalities/

"Over the past 45 years (1965 – present) there have been 27 fatal dog attacks in Illinois or an average of one (1) fatal attack every 1 to 2 years."

That's NOT pitbull attacks, that's attacks by ALL dogs and all of those incidents did NOT occur in Elgin.

More people are killed by bees, hornets and wasps each year than by dogs.

On the contrary, Robins came from total obscurity and nearly beat a former councilwoman and DID beat a well-based, Sligting. That’s the story of this election.</description>

		<description>Hello, checking in, Several valid points have been brought out on the bsl agenda, the point of money spent by the city was shared by me with two city council members in regards to all around costs with this issue. There was recent mention of using our name to post, I prefer to use mine to share my interest in matters and remain focused on current agenda and not minutia. 
    I also Spoke with Mike Warren on cost factors, he was kind enough, to speak with me on speaker while getting ready to go out for the evening. His thoughts were the city attorneys felt comfortable with any litigation they may have to fight off. Also that the city gets sued often whether its workmans comp cases or other matters. I thanked him for listining to my proactive views on revenue. It was great to see Rich Dunne and John Steffen getting involved with state budget matters in regards to Elgin and the Fox Valley area. Now thats proactive, what council members should strive for.</description>

		<description>I wasn't ask to be in the video I posted, though I am a professional, educated female in her her 40's with two pit bull mixes.  There are a lot of us out there .. you just don't look beyond gang members and negative stereotypes to see us. 

As for the video you posted, a simple youtube search would net similar results for other breeds of dogs, as well. 

Have a lovely day, Boxcar.</description>

		<description>I did enjoy that video although I loved looking at all of the owners more than the dogs. Where were the over age 40 crowd of owners? Probably at their jobs, I'm guessing. 

Here's a completely unrehearsed, impromptu video involving a family pitbull that I favor:
