Deborah Birutis, Winfield
So what's your new mayor like? The Daily Herald asked our new mayors and village presidents a few 'get to know you' questions Wednesday, the day after voters chose them to lead their communities.
Q. Who is your political role model?
A. Abraham Lincoln
Q. What is the first thing you want to change?
A. The first I would like to change is the communication between all of the other governmental entities and different bodies that we work with, like the chamber of commerce and CDH (Central DuPage Hospital). I would like the communication to be better and for all of us to work together to accomplish the same goals.
Q. What is your favorite movie?
A. The "Indiana Jones" series.
Q. How did you celebrate?
A. I thanked everybody who came to Caliendo's (restaurant in downtown Winfield). My husband, son and I went home at about 9:15 p.m. because my son had to go to school the next day. So we had a very quiet evening at home.
Q. What's the last good book you read?
A. "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle
Q. Cubs or Sox?
A. Since my son is in Winfield In Action and his (baseball league) team is the Sox, I am going to have to go with the White Sox.
