Wood Dale needs Durbin's help

Posted July 22, 2009 11:00 pm

DuPage County has the second-largest numbers of Democratic voters in the state of Illinois, and they, plus many others in our state, always vote for you, Sen. Dick Durbin. We have seen you often on the TV, taking up a cause for the little guy in Cook County.

Now, little Wood Dale, a small city just to the west of O'Hare Airport, is having a severe problem with flooding along Salt Creek every time it rains; many houses are flooded to the point that it has become a huge health and safety issue. Cook County has the means to minimize this flooding at no cost to them with a simple method available that they will not employ because we have nothing to offer in return.

Please help the people you represent and use your vast influence to get Cook County to be a good neighbor and help the little people you represent as our senator.
