Why all the fuss as to who found who and when?
What really does that matter?
The fact is that Bob Sabonjian handily beat the incumbent. He took the white vote, the black vote & the hispanic vote. That result came from solid campaigning and support from dedicated individuals and groups and ultimately the majority of voters in Waukegan. The results of the election were purely driven by the desire to change the direction Waukegan was moving. A desire that is clearly from across the board, not from any sole source.
If you want to lay claim - or blame - to why we have a new mayor - have at it. Just seems to me that what is the far more important task is considering what we can do to assist our new mayor over the next 4 years to create the change we all expect to see. Assistance like remaining engaged in the process - ESPECIALLY as our aldermen are all up for election in 2 years.
