Facts support investment in schoolsMar 28, 2019 1:00 AM - I'm writing to express my support on the District 86 referendum for improvements to Hinsdale South and Central High Schools. I'm a father of two kids (8 and 2) and I moved to this town because of the schools. It's been 57 years since this district passed a referendum. These schools have 50-year-old boilers, classrooms are falling behind and the security systems are totally inadequate. Also, programs like wrestling, football, cheer, and the National Honor Society have all sustained cuts. Growing up, my high school experience was the best time of my life and now my kids are staring at their future and it looks pretty bleak.

Don't dissolve panel in midst of electionJan 15, 2019 1:00 AM - Today, the DuPage County Board has a historic opportunity to overhaul the way we manage our elections. I think we owe it to the voters to get this right the first time and set out a clear path to professional, accountable, efficient, ethical election services. We all agree that the DuPage County Election Commission has a troubled record. Everyone remembers the election night chaos of March 20, when DuPage primary results were delayed by hours because of preventable polling place closing glitches. Even after the resignation of the commission's executive director, problems remain. I was recently informed that our election judges still have not been paid, more than two months after the Nov. 7 election. That's not right.
