Depends what the meaning of independent is

   Was researching other matters when I came across this rather sadly funny joke on the village's website:
“The Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners are tasked with the responsibility to oversee
the hiring, promoting, and dismissing of the civil servants within the Village
of Forest Park. Although the Village Council appoints members of the Board they
are considered an independent body…”

The chairman of the fire and police board is, of course, one Amy Weisbruch Rita. 

That's the set up. Here's the punchline:
Address of Rita's Forest Park Post/34 Publishing- P.O. Box 49, Forest Park.
Address listed on filing with state for Amy Rita, chairman and Treasurer of Tony Calderone's Forest Park PAC- P.O. Box 49, Forest Park.

Don't laugh too hard, though, since the rest of us are the real punchline.
