And why could the other two candidates and the forum hosts set politics aside for a couple of hours and all gone to celebrate the best thing that has happened to Waukegan in years? For one to think a politic debate is more inportant than kids in this community accomplishing something that is so wonderful and well deserving is beyond my comprehension! I respect Mayor Hyde for his decisions and back him 150%. I am sure that if one of the other two candidates were the current mayor they would have made the same decision and I too would have supported them and backed them 150%. This celebration is not about politics! It is about people in our community that have risen up and given us something to celebrate! I am taking off my job 3 hours early today and loosing 3 hours of pay to show my support for these kids and their accomplishments! As I said before I will bet dollars to donuts the other two candidates will be out there this afternoon! If they are not then they really do not deserve to represent our city if they cannot support its accomplishments! NUF SAID!
