For the Kids or For the Money?
Cheryl Meyer is the honcho of the Huntley School District 158’s B.E.S.T. political action group.
Except for Larry Snow, her organization put all the current Huntley School Board in office.
She also was instrumental in passing the falsely promoted tax hike referendum in the Huntley School District.
So, it was no surprise that someone of her talent should be hired by the Carpentersville School District 300 tax hike committee, Advance 300.
As reported on February 13th, Myers, hiding behind something called Campaign Solutions, received $6,750.
The District 300 tax hike committee identified Campaign Solutions as Lake in the Hills resident Cheryl Meyer.
Nancy Zettler wrote in an open letter:
Since January, another $26,873 was paid to Campaign Solutions, presumably still controlled by Meyer.
With Meyer’s Campaign Solutions on the District 300 tax hike committee payroll, so to speak, is it any wonder that the Huntley District 158 School Board members she helped put in office were willing to send a letter condemning Larry Snow for analyzing the District financial situation? In their political salvo, the Ruling Six even urged people to call the Huntley school district “at (847) 659-6158 regarding any concerns about representations by Snow.”
I was not able to identify Campaign Solutions as a corporation in February.
A corporation called Campaign Solutions, Inc, was not incorporated until May 9, 2006. The company’s agent is listed as Huntley attorney Michael J. Fleck. The company’s incorporator was Thomas L. Schnmid, 10,771 Rt. 47, PO Box 992, Huntley, Illinois. The street address is the same as Fleck’s. Meyer’s name appears nowhere. The Secretary of State’s Office told me that the corporation’s officers would usually show up on the firm’s second report, that is, in 2007.

We hired Campaign Solutions based here in Algonquin which is owned and operated by Cheryl Meyer, a Lake In The Hills resident. Ms. Meyer specializes in grassroots campaigns and has over 7 years experience in political and referendum campaigns.

It's 80 degrees plus and feels more like 90 degrees plus.
After I read this topic's content, I decided I must be experiencing some form of heat stress - so, I went back and read it again.
Glad to say, it's not heat stress.
Sad to say, I have a lot of questions left unanswered. Wanting someone to fill in the blanks.
Also, memory says that D158 tax increase supporters/friends repeatedly came to Ms. Meyer's "defense" (for want of a better word)....pretty much saying she was (my wording) ex. - a local mom, a local volunteer, a local private citizen.
I don't recall her being described as or even alluded to being a professional campaign person during the D158 referendum time or during the board candidate election time.
The content of this topic rather clashes with the original image that was painted.
------------------
Attention All D300 and D158 Taxpayers who were convinced to vote Yes Yes based:
on emotion/guilt,
in spite of numbers that had been questioned,
and raises, benefits, and perks discussions,
and, after all the "Surprise!" (respective) headlines and exposes,
are you starting to understand how things work in the "School Industry Kingdom" now?
----------
Since my friend explained the theory of flying pigs recently, I keep seeing them in my head when I read School District stories, I wonder what the connection is?
Here piggy piggy....here piggy piggy......yep, it's definitely heat stress humor.

No surprise Mr. Fleck served as Meyer's attorney. Last summer he wrote a LTE in the NWH bashing Larry Snow.
