More bad behavior

Pretty striking headline from the Chicagoist:

"Oak Brook Man Hates Libraries, Children, Puppies"

I don't know about the puppies part, but Constantine "Connie" Xinos castigated an 11-year-old girl for being a "whiner" after she spoke in defense of the local library at a meeting of the Oak Brook Village Board. Oak Brook, a suburb of Chicago, relies heavily on sales taxes for revenue, and with local shopping down, the town had to eliminate five library staff positions (including the library director and the children's librarian). Xinos is quoted as saying "I wanted that kid to lose sleep that night."

Hmm, I wonder if he thinks this kid was just a whiner too.
