Does anyone know what role an Ed Erwin played in the Hyde campaign?

[frankiegirl]

Not sure his exact job, but he had poll watchers credentials (and his 100 ft. rope) and visited various polling sites to check the numbers, in the Primary and General Elections.
He was also posted outside of North School mid afternoon during the General Election to harrass voters. There were complaints made to the County Clerk and
the State's Attorney and Lake County Sheriff came and 'poof', he disappeared!!

[blingmama]

You might also recognize him as "esquared" from the News Sun Talk of the County forum during the campaign.

Kinda disappeared from there as well lately.

Worth reading those gems again.

With our new status as a santuary city, Mayor Bob II should prepare for our own little swine flu epidemic. Bienvenido de vuelta a casa amigos. Thanks B2.

I wonder what our city and/or county health department is going to do? If you check the news this morning the flu is spreading to other countries. With our population in Waukegan we shouldn't ignore what is going on.

The odds are that someone has arrived from Mexico in the last week. God forbid if it starts spreading in a school like New York or New Zealand. Mexico has shut down their schools.


(CNN) -- Mexican officials are asking citizens to avoid large crowds, refrain from kissing as a greeting and maintain a distance of at least 1.8 meters (six feet) from each other amid growing concern in the country and elsewhere over new cases of suspected and confirmed swine flu infection.
Swine flu is usually diagnosed only in pigs or people in regular contact with them.

Several countries issued travel notices and tightened restrictions to brace against the virus the World Health Organization is calling "a public health emergency of international concern."

By Sunday, 81 deaths had been deemed "likely linked" to a deadly new strain of the virus by health authorities in Mexico. Viral testing has confirmed 20 cases, said Dr. Jose A. Cordova Villalobos, Mexico's health secretary. In the United States, the number of confirmed swine flu cases stood at 11.

In New Zealand, officials said 22 students and three teachers, who returned from a three-week-long language trip to Mexico, may have been infected with the virus.

The 25 students and teachers at Auckland's Rangitoto College returned to New Zealand via Los Angeles on Saturday.

Fourteen have shown flu-like symptoms, with four "more unwell than others," said Dr. Julia Peters, clinical director of Auckland Regional Public Health Service.
