I would love to run for alderman! I am not a democrat, I have no loyalty to Daley, I am a disgruntled city worker, college educated, and live in Mt. Greenwood. Unfortunately, I don't have 100K (thats what Rugai spent on the last election!). It only takes 412 (last time I checked) signatures to get on the ballot, as long as none are challenged. The CBOE recommends you get at least 2500! The problem is, the incumbent will challenge EVERY name on your petiton to get it DQ'd to keep you off the ballot. You need a lawyer, foot soldiers, advisors, etc. This is how they keep the average person out. It is not unheard of for Joe Q to run and win, but highly unlikely against Ginger. She was hand picked and appointed by Daley. Her husband is an attorney. She has clout and cash. I have never voted for her, nor will I ever. How is it she keeps winning? I just don't think the will is there to unseat her. And, the last two guys that actually made headway against her really weren't all that either, in my opinion. Just read their candidate questionaires. <br />Pappy for Alderman!Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488021694246180889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-78667583182853696922009-09-18T20:31:12.014-05:002009-09-18T20:31:12.014-05:00There will be a huge 80 vendor neighborhood garage...There will be a huge 80 vendor neighborhood garage/craft sale in Blue Island, Saturday, Sept 19 9am-4pm.

Kim **** had dinner with 2 of her friends and then were heading to Cork and Kerry for a drink Saturday night. Kim decided not to go bc she wasn't feeling well. Around 12:30 when her 2 friends were leaving Cork , they were held up a gun point at the parking lot across the street from that office building. Luckily neither of them were hurt, just had their purses stolen. Just wanted to warn you to keep extra careful since we've all been at those bars.MrsShrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400112856050535711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-62238258440497409232009-09-17T16:41:15.732-05:002009-09-17T16:41:15.732-05:00I am a certified teacher looking to provide tutori...I am a certified teacher looking to provide tutoring and or enrichment after school for students in grades 1st-8th.

I do enjoy the gun debate. I think we should be able to protect our homes. I also think the neighborhood should call our elected officals to let them know we are not happy with the lack of services or organizations. There is a way to make one aware of certain situations without putting the neighborhood in panicmode. So is anyone ever gonna run for alderman.overtaxedunderservedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806616988679490823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-27845512303493171052009-09-15T09:04:29.604-05:002009-09-15T09:04:29.604-05:00When and where is this taste of mount greenwood?
