Raising hand ...Well, paid taxes to Waukegan for many many years and my spouse was associated with Lakefront Industry workers. We still know people working down there that still reside in Waukegan. Speaking for myself - I would never think of showing up to a council meeting on behalf of the lakefront industry as #1 kinda seems like a political protest thing... #2 that would be something that I would leave for the owners of the companies... really would not be my place as an employee. From what have seen so far- kinda a political mess that I wouldn't want to jum into. Just my take on it.

Well, if the employees of lakefront industry actually lived in Waukegan, why were none present last year when the harbor dredging became such a hot-button issue? Obviously Wakluvit wasn't at that meeting where NOT ONE PERSON that spoke on behalf of lakefront industry actually LIVED in Waukegan. Not one. Nada. So, it's obvious that you're a lakefront industry owner hellbent on preserving the status quo. Lakefront industry does what for Waukegan? Their trucks tear up our roads and their employees speed down the Amstutz and Sheridan road to get going home--where they live. OUR lakefront is for OUR people now, it's not for industry any longer and it shouldn't be. Maybe you could place it in Libertyville or Pleasant Prairie or Grayslake or Gurnee or Lake Bluff--the towns where the industry employees said that they actually live, the towns where they pay their property taxes, support their local businesses and where they keep industry and its trucks OUT of their towns. It's not in Waukegan. It's time for us to take OUR TOWN back. Wakluvit is a phony. ::::
