Why no mention of Lisle 'Tea Party?'

Posted April 26, 2009 11:00 pm

I couldn't believe that Lisle's Tax Day Tea Party apparently didn't merit a mention in your article on same parties held in the area. Elk Grove Village's gathering of 12 merited mentioning, however.

At least 500 enthusiastic but orderly citizens attended Lisle's party held in Community Park. We heard reasonable, articulate speakers address the issues that should be of concern to all Americans. I came away encouraged, uplifted, more informed and definitely glad I attended.

I hope Daily Herald's excuse is not ignorance of the event, for that would demonstrate reporters' lack of ability to find and report the news. We found the Lisle tea party simply by going on the computer and using MapQuest for directions.

How hard is that? Please do better in the future, as this tea party was not a one-time event.
