December 14, 2005 - Illinois State Representative David Miller responds to my South Holland Illinois complaint

I received a letter from Illinois State Representative David Miller on December 15, 2005. I will post his response. I am re-reading Mr. Miller response. I am trying to make sense of it. It appears as if he is telling me he only addresses issues that are at the State level. If this is true, I am wondering why and how he has influence with various programs he has sponsored or supported at my child's school, which McKinley School in South Holland, Illinois. Mr. David Miller is very active in our community, supporting some very good programs. My concern is why can't he address my issues, which are so blatant with oppression and discrimination. I guess you, my audience, can assist me in understanding his position.

Mr. David Miller responds with the following language:

Dear Mr. Nance:

My District Office is in receipt of your correspondence regarding issues you have with the Village of South Holland. We have been in contact with the Village regarding your complaints; however please know that the office of State Representative really does not have any authority or jurisdiction in local municipal government matters. Our sphere of influence mainly lies within the state level of government.

I thank you for your informative letters, and I appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns. We will continue to make inquiries on your behalf.

Sincerely,


David E. Miller
State Representative
29th District
