Urbana Free Library

Excerpt (bullet points added): In the last few months, for example,
- our governor ordered that state legislators not be paid because he didn't like what they hadn't done;
- the Urbana Free Library mistakenly removed more than 9,000 books from its shelves, packed them up and sent them away, only to request they be returned;
- a local mass transit district that never provided mass transit service finally went out of business after collecting taxes for seven years;
- and it was discovered that a member of a local housing authority board was never appointed to it although she has been serving for four years.
