More SenreQ Tax Liens

The Internal Revenue Service has recorded two more Federal Tax Liens against SenreQ.

The most recent one is for $188,569 for Federal Withholding Taxes and unemployment taxes owed on wages and salaries paid to SenreQ employees.

Lights out for Senreq?

The electric meter appears to have been pulled from Senreq's demonstration facility, which is located on property rented from the City of Morris for $1,200 per year. Click on the photo to zoom in.

Why was the meter pulled? Is Senreq so successful at generating energy from garbage that it no longer needs to buy electricity?

Thank you to the alert reader who e-mailed this photo.

More trouble for Senreq

Records at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds office show that Senreq has recently acquired another tax lien. This time for allegedly failing to pay state tax obligations.

Dissolution notices have also been recorded against several of the many Senreq entities.

Feeney forms new committee

In an opinion letter published in the Morris Daily Herald on March 7, 2007, Brian Feeney said:

"Fortunately, before last week's committee meeting adjourned, I was authorized as chairman to form a new committee to investigate how Morris, Grundy County, SENREQ and perhaps an outside foundation or grant agency might work together to finance a solution that works for everyone, if such a solution is indeed possible. I pledge that the committee will look at every available technology option brought to it, but I doubt that I'll ever again be able to negotiate a deal on behalf of the taxpaper that even comes close to what we had. I will, however, do my best."

The "solution" that Kopczick and Feeney had previously proposed called for the city to issue up to $8 Million in bonds to finance the Senreq project. If the project failed, the city would be left with the bond liability - and the garbage. Does this sound familiar? Like when the city partnered with Community Landfill, and as a result may be stuck with a $17 million bill for the cleanup? Feeney and Kopczick both were aldermen who supported the Community Landfill blunder. We can't afford any more solutions from Mr. Bungles and his committee.
