Frankiegirl (Peggy), I have seen Mrs. Link walking through the 6th ward for the last several weekends, everyone in the neighborhood knows that you see everything so I am surprised that you have not seen her! I also read the newspaper article recently that both candidates were asked to offer what they would do to help the state of the city, Mrs Link offered many quantative measures that would help dig the city out of the mess that we are in, all that Alderman TenPas claims is that "we have to look at everything, we really do"! Larry offers NO measures on what he would do or what he would take to the council to help the State of the City! Our City has an extraordinary opportunity before us where we have the possibility of new representation in FIVE wards!!! This is so much more than just a 6th Ward race, we have the opportunity to have a council that is engaged, articulate, informed and has a deep desire to make change in this city. I challange you to learn about what is happening outside your ward, because the votes that these aldermen make, the votes of the ENTIRE council, affect all of us, stop worrying whether or not Mrs. Link cuts her own grass...Many people in this city do not cut their own grass, Many people don't cut it at all! Be thankful that she keeps a nice yard and a place that looks respectful to her neighbors. Furthermore, there are an awful lot of Section 8 homes in your neighborhood as well as throughout the city, Larry often claims there are too many section 8 certificates in Waukegan, what he does not tell any one is that he sat on the Housing Authority Board for MANY MANY years! HE had an opportunity to help the situation in Waukegan....but didn't, instead he took tomatos to your elderly neighbor, instead he helps clean out the basement of a resident! Aldermen are appointed to be STEWARDS of our community, not handy men.
Suxlinksux(Jeff), you keep mentioning Mrs. Link's time that she spends in Florida...I have seen here walking weekend after weekend throughout the ward and I am a member of the City of Waukegan Chamber of Commerce, where I see her attending the organizations events...not sure when she is spending all of this time in the Sun Shine State...what about our Treasurer Dr. Schwab, he leaves Waukegan in NOVEMBER and does not return until February, he flies back every month to make the council meeting, who's dime do you think that's on?? Why don't you give Mrs. Link a chance, had she run a few years ago, maybe her measures could even have helped you keep your foreclosed home on County Street.
