The tax-happy Hein family should forego its $30,000 college-bound bribe money and perhaps donate a portion of a chemistry or computer lab.

LOL! Love it! When all else fails, change the subject. I asked you how a new school would have prevented celtic's house from being robbed. The perp is 27 years old. Way too old for school. Even my befuddled christian brain understands that.

Remember back a couple of years ago, when he was bragging about all the properties he bought? He portrayed himself as a wealthy man. A wealthy man who took a government entitlement.

I remember that. He was Da' Region's answer to Donald Trump, buying and selling properties for $20,000 profits when no one else could give their homes away.

I also recall him crowing about how his greedy, "me-first", do as we say, not as we do, selfish family was chiseling the state government out of its fair share of sales tax money by doing all of their shopping online.

I had forgot about his online shopping. Thanks for the reminder.

As for College Bound, it is nothing but a waste of taxpayer money, IMO. Only 1 out of 5 students graduate, when probably at least 1/2 million was spent.
FTR, my daughter will NOT be using College Bound. She already has a full tuition scholarship. She has had a lot of offers for full tuition at various colleges across the country, and has narrowed it down to 2.

I can't wait to hear how my favorite low information gadfly tries to tell us how those two colleges don't use tax dollars to provide those scholarships. Or maybe we can talk about how you collect disability from social security so you don't have to work for a living.

gadfly?

LOL!!!!!! Thems pretty tall words coming from a big blowhard bully like you.

I see you've resorted back to picking on the girls again...

maybe you should get your ''idol'' edge and his master debater skills to front for you before you go and make a complete fool out of yourself.

again.

Gee, you are so uninformed. The funny thing is, she only applied to 5 colleges, but yet had free rides offered by dozens of others, both public and private. What can't you understand about privately funded scholarships? As for the use of tax dollars, which is the peoples money, what are you doing with the peoples money? Aren't the taxpayers paying for your kid to go to college, HYPOCRIT???

Most bullies are sissies.

You can't be "bullied" on a discussion board, just outwitted,Mary Ellen. In your case, that's really easy to do. The truth is that the US government uses tax dollars to provide scholarships because educated Americans earn more and create the wealth that makes this the greatest country on earth.

The U.S. government also makes college loans available. For a guy like you, who can cover a $60,000 loan by flipping three houses, well, why would you have to take a $30,000 bribe from your Mayor that you have no intention of paying back?

It's the "do as I say, not as I do" liberal mantra.

This is another article about the burglar from 2005! The Times had it in their newspaper then.


WHITING | Enterprising police work led to the capture of three suspects involved in a purse snatching from a tax preparation business Monday afternoon.

Derek J. Scesney, 20, of 513 Broad St., East Chicago, and Anthony John Andrasco, 18, of 2408 White Oak Ave., Whiting, were arrested for misdemeanor conversion, said Whiting police spokesman Lt. Detective Sam Abner. A 16-year-old East Chicago boy, who allegedly snatched the purse off a desk at Jackson-Hewitt Tax Services, is charged with juvenile delinquent felony theft.

Scesney was with Andrasco inside Jackson-Hewitt getting his income taxes prepared when they noticed an employee's purse atop her desk, Abner said. They returned at 2:02 p.m. with the 16-year-old boy who then ran inside, grabbed the purse and fled out the front door.

The female employee ran outside screaming that her purse had been stolen.

Hearing her shouts, Whiting Building Commissioner Mike Hrinyo chased the suspects' vehicle, losing sight at Ohio Avenue and 117th Street, Abner said.

When the woman provided Whiting police Sgt. Milford Hale with a description of the suspects, she said she thought one man may have just had his taxes prepared. Using the address on the taxes, police arrived at his East Chicago home as he and the other two suspects were putting snow on top of his car to make it appear as if it hadn't been driven lately, Abner said.

The purse was found in the snow beside the car, and the 16-year-old boy had $40 in his pocket taken from the purse, Abner said. Scesney and Andrasco allegedly gave statements to police admitting their roles in the theft.

"I credit Officer Hale for putting the name and address together, because if he hadn't advised us to get to Broad Street as quickly as he did, I think those guys would have been long gone," Abner said.
