I came across this "series" and am fascinated. This is exactly like my home town. 5 years ago I owned a few different companies. The older I got, the less time & energy I had to put towards all three companies. I decided to sell one. A potential buyer met with me, and decided to spend the day driving around the town, walking down the street, going into different businesses trying to get familiar with the area. Coincidentally that night was a town council meeting. He decided to stick around and go to it. Two days later, he calls me and says I cannot believe the BS small town pety things that were discussed at this meeting. These are elected govt officials acting like this, and the audience at this meeting were just as bad! Im sorry, I loved your business, I love your numbers, but there is no number good enough for me to want to be a part of a community like that!!

James Preston Thomas I respect your opinion but I feel like these are exactly the way all of it was meant to be. Checks and balances wasn't necessarily designed to keep things fair; it was designed slow the growth of government. Politicians always say "...gonna get this done!!!" But honestly, all they ever do is screw things up even more! I say let them fight over binder clips & leave freedom alone.

The man knows how to tell a story! And he’s got witnesses. Spellbinding ! We’ve got intrigue, pettiness, lies, theft, character assassination , possible corruption, righteous indignation, it’s all here in Carpentersville.

I think I just found the real life inspiration for Parks and Rec

According to the laws of The Village of Carpentersville, even THINKING about taking binder clips is a capital crime that carries the death penalty. :)

"character assassination starts with little lies" yeah but do we have an forensic evidence that he DIDN'T take the clips?

Anyone coming to these Carpenterville videos after 15 years, as I am now, and thinking how on Earth is this for real: you have clearly not grown up in a small town, with small, petty people. I did. And it is mindnumbing how uppity these "townies" get over innocuous things with each other. 😅

Whats great is that usually the videos of meetings gone wrong are "one shots' a single out of hand meeting or single individual, video is posted etc... but the pattern of dysfunction in this board is great, it is like a TV show with reoccurring characters, and guest stars, each one a different episode....next week on Carpentersville, Bill brings an airhorn and everytime someone else tries to speak he blows it,

So Ed Ritter says, "Hi diddlyho Neighborinos! Call me Delta Airlines 'cause I can't handle all this baggage. I'm not thinking' straight. Why'd I have that wine cooler last month? There's not a ding dong diddly I can do about it now." Ed also sounds a bit like Al Franken.
