..."and you can disagree while still working together respectfully. It's just much more effective in the longterm".

Someone should tatoo that on OC's forehead

"So council can read it when they look at him?"

[Bonster]

"I remember before OC got in office, I was confused whether I was in Oak Brook or Berwyn when I would drive down Cermak.  The high end shops, the thriving night life...I remember hearing about Tru and Trotter's were going to move to the Depot District.  Yeah, those were the days."

...the scent of bread follows you around the town.

You north-siders are lucky. I'm down by the Stickney sewage treatment plant; the scent following me around ain't bread.

Think of the employees at that plant.  Our shit is their bread and butter.

I'd think it was the other way around :-)

"Folks also need to understand if these halfwits screw up the budget by continuing to spend money like a pedophile in Bangkok, our credit rating will go in the toilet and we will be unable to borrow our way to prosperity."


LOL!

"I've got the final say.

"Then work to consolidate school districts, not maintain the status quo.

Mention that down at OOT and see if folks there will support consolidation.

Hell, ask your Alderwoman if SHE would support consolidation for the betterment of Berwyn."

Maybe another four years of Obama (and a clear Democrat majority in the House and Senate) is actually what this country really needs to wake us all up. Sometimes you gotta press your hand against the stove before you really believe it burns.

We were burnt by 8 years of Bush.
