Last night’s fundraiser at Beth Sullivan’s really was a great deal of fun! Beth baked some very tasty treats, and the laughter and good times the group had, well, “lingered” - you had to be there. We also had a very good and informative give and take on mass transit in DuPage. At […]
Robert Schillerstrom, Chair of the DuPage County Board, is starting to take the public steps to run his future statewide race (likely for governor). Yesterday he was heralded in the press as “Ethics Man,” an advance, no doubt, over DuPage political boss. I give him credit, where credit is due. He has […]

Here are a few more thoughts on the John Kerry catch phrase subject. I don’t think either of the two similar offerings below is exactly right, but they do come closer.
- September 11th united America and the world - what has Iraq done for us?
- Should a world united by 9/11 have resulted in […]
Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo suggests that Kerry needs a simple, to-the-point zinger summarizing the Iraq disaster to voters. So what is Kerry’s “are you better off than four years ago” line?
Josh comes up with some rough beginnings “thinking aloud” - “Do you think Iraq has made us safer or less safe?” […]
A year ago last week the Chicago Tribune ran a story about Governor Blagojevich trying to get corporate sponsorships for state assets. Then, Gary Ruskin, head of Commercial Alert, a non-profit that fights the mixing of commercialization and government, said: “Once you start along these lines, where do you stop? When you hang a […]
As the Naperville Sun’s coverage suggests, Saturday’s Naperville Transportation Advisory Board meeting soliciting public feedback was not as well attended as one might like, with only about a dozen citizens there providing input. I was one of them, and gave a short version of the need for mass transit I have described here. […]
From Atrios - every time you think Dick Cheney has destroyed all credibility, selling it off to the highest bidder, he throws into the pot that last extra pinch.
A recent favorite Dick Cheney “stretcher” is this one from Iowa:
“But having taken those steps that we believe got the economy back on the right […]
Tina Beaird, a veteran campaigner and current Vice-Chair of the Naperville Township Democrats will replace Patrick Schneider, former Democratic candidate for DuPage County Forest Preserves Commissioner District 5 on the November ballot. Schneider, a police officer, had to withdraw due to unresolvable employment conflicts with his schedule at the Forest Preserves Board, should he […]
DuPage State’s Attorney Joseph Birkett spoke about DuPage “open” government in today’s Daily Herald: “[T]he county officials here all embrace open government.”
It’s true. The DuPage County Board does “embrace open government.” That’s why the Elmhurst-based Citizen Advocacy Center didn’t have to sue to see the county budget. That’s why the DuPage […]
