Milton Township Election - April 1st, 2025
JEFF CASTLE FOR TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE???
Milton Township has been under Republican One-Party Rule for DECADES.
One-Term Township Trustee Jeff Castle (who is also the current
Milton Township GOP Chair and DuPage County GOP Secretary)
is Running for Re-Election.
 |
Fast Points about Jeff Castle:
--- Sources allege that Jeff Castle is the "Mini-Me" to embattled Trustee Dan Milinko's "Dr. Evil" (GOP Insider Dan Milinko is currently running for Township Supervisor).
--- Sources allege that Jeff Castle and Dan Milinko are too joined-at-the-hip for surgical separation to be medically effective.
--- Sources allege that Jeff Castle routinely exceeds his authority as a Trustee by directing, abusing, and harassing employees (the Township Assessor has barred Jeff Castle from the Assessor's Office).
Can this be true, or is EVERYBODY a liar except Jeff Castle?
--- What is most def is that, since Trustee Jeff Castle was elected in May 2021, TWENTY-ONE employees have been fired from or quit their jobs at both Milton Township General Assistance and the Supervisor's Office; fourteen of the employees are women.
--- Allegedly, Trustee Jeff Castle has been instrumental in all of this; in 2024, one woman successfully sued the Township for political firing, naming Jeff Castle in the lawsuit (and yes, I'd call a $55,000 settlement a "successful" lawsuit).
HOW Does a Local Government with EIGHT Full-Time Positions Lose TWENTY-ONE Employees in Just FOUR Years?
Former Milton Township employees CLAIM that they were routinely bullied and harassed by Trustee Dan Milinko and his Mini-Me, Trustee Jeff Castle.
Allegations include creating a toxic and hostile work environment, threats of termination, and politically-charged intimidation.
BUT if all this really happened, where's the lawsuit, huh?

WHY was Trustee Jeff Castle Named in a "Political Firing" Lawsuit?
I don't know. Anyone can sue anyone for anything, right? And it's not like the court heard the case and said Jeff Castle could be involved in some kind of conspiracy or something.

WHY Did the Township Settle a "Political Firing" Lawsuit (The One that Named Jeff Castle) for FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND Taxpayer Dollars?
Okay. Fine. Guilty people aren't the ONLY people who settle lawsuits against them, right? And sure, sources say that the settlement cost you and me about 55 grand...plus THOUSANDS in legal fees...
But, but, you know what? How do we know the lawsuit didn't really get dismissed or something? Yeah? Thats it! Where is the PROOF that this political firing lawsuit naming Trustee Jeff Castle even got settled AT ALL?
-- Court Status Report on Settlement
-- Township Board Agenda Listing Settlement
-- Township Board Minutes with Vote to Approve Settlement
WHY Did Jeff Castle Just Run for Forest Preserve Commissioner Last November (He Lost)?
Was it because of a "hunger for public service?"
Was it because of a "hunger" for the $50,000 salary, plus health insurance?
Or was it because of Jeff Castle's deep connection with nature?
-- You have GOT to see this vid he made about his Deep Connection with Nature...
(Yeah, we don't get why he's with a goat, either).
WHY Are Former Employees Alleging Things Like THIS About Jeff Castle?
(That's Dan Milinko's shoulder).
When I first started at the Township I was asked to meet for lunch with Trustees Milinko and Castle to discuss my position at the Township and who I would be loyal to.
Through the years, my loyalty was to Supervisor John Monino..nothing has changed. The Trustees didn't like my position regarding Supervisor Monino. I stood up for him and myself.
I would do it again.

WHY Are the Public's FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Requests About Jeff Castle Being Ignored?
Does Jeff Castle, a Professional Contractor by trade, have a Township Menard's credit card? Or ANY Township credit cards? Would that even mean anything? OF COURSE NOT! Now, I know what you're all thinking, and you should be ASHAMED of yourselves. There is NOTHING to see here. Jeff Castle's innocence is self-evident, open, and transparent.
-- Township Ignored This FOIA Asking for Jeff Castle's Use of Township Credit Cards
Fine. Listen. Who says the Township can even answer this? It's not like Jeff Castle's Board of Trustees has time to minutely check over every single bill or try to "cover things up," right? There'd be a bunch of late fees and penalties if they were doing that...
WHY Are the Public's FOIA Requests For the Township's Financial Penalties, Late Fees, Late Charges, Overdrafts (and so on) Being Ignored?
(That's Dan Milinko's torso).
Ridiculous. This has got to be absurdly false. Jeff Castle's Township Board of Trustees are lovingly devoted to the Township's finances, NOT to costing taxpayers' money by delaying payments as they exhaustively check for anything that might need "special handling."
And SO WHAT if
this "exhaustive checking" is always done by Dan Milinko and Jeff Castle in a back room (right before the Township Board meetings)?
-- Township Accountant Says Township Board of Trustees Are Okay with Late Fees
So, okay, it's like, MAYBE they have a certain eccentric style when it comes to the financials. Who doesn't? Especially if it's not even your money and...
We're-we're getting off-topic here. Let's...umm...yeah. At least Jeff Castle's Township Board is completely up-front and forthcoming about any financial late fees, penalties, and charges they incur...
IF Dan Milinko Wins and Becomes Township Supervisor, Is It True That He Plans to Gift His Running Mate Jeff Castle with a $100,000 Township Job?
I'm sure this is totally untrue. Utterly uncharacteristic. Unfounded rumour. Beyond the pale. And, and, like, Jeff Castle and his fellow Republicans who run Milton Township are all about TRANSPARENCY. It's not like, say, Jeff Castle's Township Board holds back any of their tenure's meeting minutes or agendas...
AND yeah, the Township Board Meeting room's built-in microphone went dead for OVER ONE YEAR, leaving all those Board meetings unrecorded (Jeff Castle*** apparently claimed that mice ate the wiring):
