Dear stargazer, The alderman are the majority of the problem; they hold the purse strings; they confirm mayoral appointments; they deny police reports to the local newspaper; but they all work so well together. Waukegan needs to get tough on the "low level public disorder laws" first, before we can ever hope for a better day in this town. The whole Genessee Theater concept was doomed to failure from the beginning. Have you ever been to the Drury Lane Theater in Lincolnshire, with it's hotel, golf course, and restaurants? Who, living on the North Shore would ever consider coming to this gang infested, crime-ridden, litter strewn city for a show, when all they have to do is check in at the Marriott Lincolnshire for a weekend?
