Lifeisawheel is right. The crookedness is obscene in the village. Danz doesn't work here anymore because he was caught doing SUCH wrong that it got him investigated by the state, and now he wants to be a judge!

Vote AGAINST candidates with questionable CHARACTER, MORALS and VALUES who may someday judge YOU!

He wants it bad. Makes BIG signs! DESPERATE!

I was told by a former cop that he tried to make Police Officers IGNORE/Rescind citations issued to Illinois residents (as an acting DA) in the past!!!! (I smell a rat here...)

Notice all the support he gets from certain current and former Darien Board members? Why would that be? HHHMMMM. Birds of a feather maybe?

VOTE FOR HONESTY - REDDY for Judge.

By the way, it is nice to see some people FINALLY coming around to realize that Chief DeVoy got royally screwed in such an obscene way that could only happen in a crooked little village like this.

Dishonest, "do nothing" people don't have cameras installed in their own office to record it. Wake up.

Everyone in this village is SO blind. If you recall, Danz said he was resigning to move closer to his family in Florida or something right? The FACT is that he got BUSTED too performing dirty politics and that was his way of getting out. Now this CROOK wants to be the one who decides RIGHT from WRONG in a circuit court?!?!? I'm gonna start bringing my water in from somewhere else because they are right when they laugh about this hole in the wall village, "there's something in the water." Heck, it most likely will be a whole lot cheaper.

Why did Putman say 'we won' in the article? What did he win? And why did he say 'we'? It seems there might have been an unholy alliance going on by the board to eliminate the former cheif of police. Sounds like it was a personal issue.

Have to agree with oplease, Darien seems like a smelly place to live with that board making self-serving decisions that residents might not agree with.

Glad I don't live there - even I heard of the laughing stock cop there, I think the whole county knows about that guy.
Good luck to the citizens.

Look like danz moved on he running for judge

Please don!t put that out like that. Creig is to sick to be called names.

Once again you are right. Look at all these "mugshots". Pictures of criminals, most grimacing that they were caught at illegal activity. With the exception of the definition of human filth, Robert Metzner, who is smiling as if this crooked backwards news makes him famous. I mean look at Wenzel, he looks as crooked as the day is long! (this comment went longer but went too far as far as describing them)......

Wow there's a dead give-away that the railroading of DeVoy was a personal vendetta by board members.

'We won. He's gone.' ?

Good luck getting re-elected Mr Putzman. Sounds like your more of a crook than people realize.

Shame on you.

Mr. Putman- you should be ashamed of yourself.You are the pet calling the kettle black.What would you think if the Walworth School District publically said that they're happy your grand-daughters "gone". How proud can you be spending taxpayer's hard-earned money ($300,000) to get rid of the chief because of a personal vendetta by you and others on the board? You sat on the board as a chairperson with "nothing to report"yet collecting a paycheck for doing so. You also used village equipment and personnel for personnal gain by having your lot cleared to build your home. You said you would repay the village but I havrn't seen thxt happen yet. I can only hope that the stupidity shown by youself in making such an unintelligent comment about the chief comes back to haunt you in the spring election. People of Darien- vote intelligently in April. Don't elect this idiot back on the Village Board.

lifesawheel-so true that you really can't laugh about the whole situation, because it is really not funny. Though past and previous revengeful seem to think is funny by what they did. "every dog has their day"

The true shame of this article is that Phil Putman looks like such a revengeful zero class moron, that it takes the light off of the rest of the other irresponsible board members (Zipp, Metzner, Wenzel, & Abbott) Make no mistake, any quote from them would be equal if not more horrific. God bless McCue for realizing his mistake and pleading guilty and paying the fine, let the rest hide behind their attorneys that we are going to end up paying for one way or another. "We won. He's gone" that means that the longstanding crooked politics of Darien can continue unless the little fella turns them in - can't even laugh, not even funny.

Putzman-I find it amazing how you can say "and we won he's gone". Guess what he is still around, maybe not working in Darien but he is still around. You hateful past and previous members of the board need to get on with your life and stop trying to destroy DeVoy. You got your revenge...he is resigning...now leave him alone. Putzman, would you like it everytime you saw someone that kept on bringing up your "drug addicted" granddaughter. If anyone should hang their head in shame it is you buddy. Plus you even had her living with you, was she sharing? So, "people who live in glass houses, shoudln't throw stones"

I don't live in Darien, but I have kind of been keeping up on the stories. I find it ironic these bunch of thugs can point a finger at DeVoy with their own travesties. Unbelievable!

Nobody won that year long saga; certainly not the taxpayers, the people you are supposed to represent.

Your all a bunch of losers!!!!! Putman your the biggest loser.Grow up your an old man so why don't you act like one instead of a little boy?????
