All I could offer was common sense and a desire for true representation and positive actions reflecting the needs of the people. No way in hell anyone like that could be elected here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-16534034993949805912008-02-23T22:56:00.000-05:002008-02-23T22:56:00.000-05:00Todd DeGroff is no slouch.<BR/><BR/>He was the attorney for neighbors of the Kite project near 86th/Haverstick (Woodfield, Whole Foods). <BR/><BR/>You know the project, Wilson...it was the one where your bud King Ro's wife ruled incorrectly on a major rezoning case. Again. And which the Council only supported by a 16-13 vote, and only after King threatened fellow Dems on the council if they opposed his wife's stupid decision.<BR/><BR/>ALl without a whit of evidence required by law for a stautory variance.<BR/><BR/>Justice won out though. The developer ultimately dumped the project.<BR/><BR/>Todd has tilted at windmills, and an inept Judy Conley. So petite Sen. Lubbers is no different.<BR/><BR/>And I mean petite in every sense of the word--physically, and representationally.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, finally, her husband's reputation for pissing folks off, will come home to roost. She's dodged it for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-49312481030795558702008-02-23T13:31:00.000-05:002008-02-23T13:31:00.000-05:00Wilson -<BR/><BR/>Libertarian Steve Keltner is running for that race. Ken Morgan, as I understand things, did a very classy thing and spoke with Mr. Keltner before officially announcing he was running.<BR/><BR/>Steve is an excellent candidate and Mr. Morgan is a fine gentleman as well.<BR/><BR/>http://votekeltner.com/Sean Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784017076656340302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10026057736481309052008-02-23T12:26:00.000-05:002008-02-23T12:26:00.000-05:00Since more than 50% of a person's tax bill goes to education, you would think more citizens would have filed as candidates for school board. According to the Star, only 10 candidates have filed for the 5 seats up for election in IPS. And the two longest serving incumbents Mary Busch (32 years on the board) and Marianna Zaphirou (14 years on the board) are running unopposed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23147596434685823182008-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:002008-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:00Attorney Todd DeGroff is the Democratic challenger to Teresa Lubbers in Senate #30.<BR/><BR/>I do hope the Libertarians challenge her too!Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-22298852479173143422008-02-23T10:14:00.000-05:002008-02-23T10:14:00.000-05:00I will be very, very happy to vote against Lubbers.<BR/><BR/>For some reason, the Dems won't oppose her and I am very grateful to the Libs for doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
