Dave Carlson of Joliet announces intention to run for Will County post in 2012 election.
A former prosecutor currently in private practice in Joliet announced his intention to take on Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow in the 2012 election. “I am running for the office of state’s attorney because the people of Will County deserve better," said challenger Dave Carlson in a statement he released Thursday. "The office needs to be led from the top by a trial lawyer, not a career politician," Carlson said. "The state’s attorney should be someone the public sees as leading the charge against crime, someone who is in the courthouse every day, not somebody who appears only for press conferences." Carlson worked as an assistant state's attorney under Glasgow and Glasgow's predecessor, Jeff Tomczak. Tomczak, a Republican, …

The slate of two incumbents and the current Palos District 118 board president won out the race for D230 school board.
The slate "Top 3 for 230," made up of current District 230 Board President Patrick O'Sullivan, board member Kathy Quilty and current Palos 118 School Board President Richard Nogal took a commanding lead in the race for the school district that manages Andrew, Stagg and Sandburg high schools. With 132 of the 136 precincts reporting by 11 p.m. Tuesday, each of the members of the slate (who won the coveted top three spots on the ballot) had more than 6,000 votes apiece. Their nearest competitor, Patrick S. Sullivan, had 3,985. "I'm very happy," Quilty said by phone Tuesday night. "Our hard work paid off. We ran a very good campaign." O'Sullivan said the money the slate spent on signs and other promotional items was needed to stand out in the …

Planners said the forum was non-partisan, despite Tea Party backing.
Updated at 1:50 p.m.: District 230 incumbent candidate Kathy Quilty and candidate Rena Esposito-Sheehan said Friday they never received an invitation to this forum. A message left with John Sendra, who was in charge of marketing the event, was not immediately returned. The crowd was scant, but the issues were hot at a candidate forum bringing candidates from four local races to the Tinley Park VFW Thursday night. Unlike recent School District 146 Town Hall meeting, the audience at this event was small enough to count on a couple hands, while only about half the invited candidates showed. Knowing that it was an event sponsored by the local Tea Party may have deterred some folks from coming out, organizer Jim Fuentes said, but that wasn’t …

Several candidates from local races spoke at the Tinley Park VFW on Thursday night.
The only question to come from the audience during Thursday's candidate forum at the Tinley Park VFW asked why a slate would raise $15,000 to elect three people to an unpaid board. Kathy Burke, a former school board member and Tinley Park resident, questioned how much District 230 school board candidate Richard Nogal’s slate, "Top 3 for 230," had risen for its campaign and how he planned to juggle a seat on district 230’s board with the other varying positions he holds. “I am very leery about when a candidate spends a ton of money to run for an unpaid office,” Burke said after the forum. The attorney and Northwestern University graduate is the current Palos School District 118 board president, a former chair for the Palos Community …

Voting and politics seem to be acquired tastes. Does turning 18 really open up the doors?
The Republicans just took back the House. As I typed away on the computer to finish up some homework, my mother passed by and said this to me. Suddenly, smacking me in the face like a backpack full of textbooks (which could have been easily demonstrated that night), I had realized that it was Tuesday, the day of the midterm elections. I am merely a few months shy of becoming a legal adult, so I am merely a few months shy of unlocking the right to vote. After all of the election commotion going on, I am beginning to come to terms with the relationship connecting my age and politics. It's funny how this would be something that I would assume would be the last thing a teenager thinks about when turning 18. In fact, I don't think I've ever …

The 2013 school board elections are approaching. I don't understand how Andrew Leoni could expect to win when his campaign signs read "Tinley Park District 140 School Board" The name of the district is Kirby School District 140 and the children and families live in Tinley Park and other towns as well. We need board members who are informed and certainly ones who know the name of the district. more ›
