By: Diane Benjamin Local City/Town Councils are labeled nonpartisan because elected officials are expected to act in the best interest of all citizens. Of course these elections have never been nonpartisan, everyone pretends they are I appreciate Krystle Able stating the obvious, The local GOP isn’t supporting specific candidates because they refuse to erase the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Dennis Grundler showed how a candidate forum should be run today! The audience submitted questions to him in writing and then he asked them. MANY more topics were covered this way with close to zero waste of time. This way is much more informative than most debates where one person creates questions […]

Various dates were discussed and then all mysteriously cancelled. Four candidates where going to come BEFORE a service to […]

By: Diane Benjamin Chuck Erickson was elected GOP chair in 2014 and re-elected in 2016. 75-100 people used to attend the monthly breakfast meetings BC (before Chuck). Today the breakfast had less than 30, according to an attendee, and most of them were elected members of the County Board. Sue Feldkamp, who ran for the […]
By: Diane Benjamin This morning I attended the GOP breakfast because it featured the candidates for the Normal Town Council and Normal Township. Chris Koos made a comment about Uptown 2.0 I find hard to believe. He claims there isn’t enough retail and office space in Uptown now, so Uptown 2.0 is to provide more. […]
