The mayor made a commitment to be at an event that was designed to inform the citizens of Waukegan who is best qualified to lead our City for the next four years.

Those kids deserve every bit of congratulations they are getting. But the elected leader of our city is not their buddy to be there to high five them as they roll back into town.

Everyone will be out today, certainly, as they should be.
Mayor Hyde did not blow off the debate to hang out with the basketball team, he simply showed the degree of his integrity as the executive leader of our City.
