The essential part of your post is "Larry has the time".
Explain how Suzy is going to find the time? Explain how Suzy--already divisive in the community--is going to do anything beyond taking our money and spending it for her airplane tickets to Florida. She doesn't have a good relationship with our mayor nor most all of the alderman. What do you expect her to accomplish? Let busy-busy-busy Suzy Link run for mayor where her strengths lie. We DO need an alderman who HAS THE TIME to give to us! Suzy works FULL TIME, serves on SIX boards and is TAN ALL WINTER LONG. We need an alderman who is going to address day to day issues in our ward! All that Suzy is going to do is show up at city hall meetings twice a month to fight with our mayor and fellow alderman. Ever see her anywhere in the city except when her husband is campaigning or they're at the scoop? She's not a person of the people like Larry Tenpas. Say what you will, but why don't you speak with Larry about city hall and listen to his answers. He's got good answers and he's sensible about trying to help us out on many fronts. No, it's just a group of Suzy sycophants that she's stirring up to to do her bidding--for this month--and then she'll be gone back to work on her tan. Ever see busy-busy-busy Suzy Link walking her ward to get signatures on her nominating petition? If Suzy cared so much about our ward--inherently cared about our ward--she would have had her company--AT&T--landscape these ugly cable boxes around our city instead of laughing how Waukegan--unlike other North Shore suburbs--didn't negotiate landscaping around them! Actions speak louder than words and Larry Tenpas has shown us he cares while Suzy shows us contempt. Larry has heart and he's shown it.
All Suzy is for is Suzy.
Suzy will be one step up on the groundhog in that we'll see her only marginally more. Yet, for this month only--like the McRib sandwich--she'll appear and then disappear. Do you think that busy-busy-busy Suzy Link is going to ever be anywhere west of Sheridan road in our ward? The REALITY of the situation is that service cutbacks are here and are going to increase in Waukegan and Larry has been vital in our ward. Has Suzy been vital in our community as head of all of those boards here? No. Suzy is a politician's wife and that's good for her husband and small circle of sycophants but it's NOT ENOUGH for us little people who need help when we need it and we get it from Larry at all times of the day and during all days of the week.
Between 9 and 5 everyday Larry is in our ward and working.
Where is Suzy?
A: She's at her FULL TIME job at AT&T.
Ok, she's got her evenings; but, in the 3 hours that she has in the evening where is she going to FIND THE TIME to do call backs and make calls and get a city person on the line to handle something? And that doesn't even count busy-busy-busy Suzy Links board appointments! And that doesn't even count-out the Winter months that Suzy is working on her tan in Florida!
Let's see, the pool, the cocktails, the beach, the sun or call US back about our problems? Hmmm, Where will Suzy's attention go?
A: Not here and not to us!
And what about Summer? Well, Suzy's usually to be found lounging at her pool. Think that our problems will take precedent over her pool?
We need an ACTIVE ward alderman who is in our ward DURING THE DAY.
We need an ACTIVE ward alderman who cares about us.
We need an ACTIVE ward alderman who doesn't snicker at us and our city and who is genuinely there for us and not for a campaign stunt for her husband.
In short, we need to retain Larry Tenpas. Maybe he's not a perfect 10, but we can't afford to do 'better' with busy-busy-busy Suzy Link.
