...with the help of one full-time and one part-time employee. Losing either employee would be devastating, she says. So far, there is no indication of cuts to come at her group, which just closed out its 2008 fundraiser about even with the previous year's. But Randi Yoder, the organization's senior vice president of donor relations, is bracing for a funding shortfall in 2009 even as she anticipates that volunteer numbers will rise by as much as a third. That's a tough combo. Still, says Yoder, "if someone tells us they don't have money...
That argument doesn't cut it with folks like Freddy Yoder, who is determined to rebuild his house with or without government help. "Gimme a break," the Lakeview resident growled at the commission's presentation. "We don't need a rail system. We're in the mud. If you can't give us direction, get the hell out of our way." The most troubling aspect for homeowners: the threatened use of eminent domain to clear the most heavily damaged areas for developers.

If Yoder is paranoid, certainly the worst approach is to omit information from his record and violate the painstaking procedures for committing someone. (Appellate judges have overturned three of Yoder's 13 commitment orders because of improprieties.) Some argue that Chester officials aren't so much hostile toward Yoder as negligent. "My fear is that they just don't care enough about Rodney to take any action," says Mark Heyrman, a Chicago law professor who once represented Yoder...
