Dunne, Prigge, Robins for Elgin council

I am writing in support of Elgin City Council candidates Rich Dunne and John Prigge, both 4-year candidates, and Mike Robins, a 2-year candidate. Isn't it about time we had some new blood on our council? Do you want the same old, same old gangs, illegal immigration, shootings, overcrowding? One of our current council members has been on the council well more than 30 years, another over 20. These three new candidates will provide that much needed new blood.

Prigge, Dunne and Robins are also very aware of the growing need for stronger ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are will willing to work with them in a way not being done at present. They also understand the necessity for safer neighborhoods and schools and realize the need to put a stop to the overcrowding on the streets and in the homes and apartments. They want to work more closely with the city's code enforcement department.
