Don't dissolve panel in midst of election
Jan 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. -

Mailers misleading on gun safety positionsOct 22, 2018 1:00 AM - The November race for voters in the Illinois 24th Legislative District has Suzy Glowiak, Western Springs resident and former village trustee representing the Democratic Party, pitted against incumbent State Sen. Chris Nybo, a Republican who resides in Elmhurst, holding the position since 2014. A few things about Suzy's campaign strike me as off. The first is that her campaign literature states that Chris Nybo cannot be trusted to support gun safety. Fact is Nybo worked with chief sponsor State Sen. Don Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat, to craft a revised version of the Gun Dealer License Certificate Act (SB337) that ensures gun dealers operate safely but removed the bureaucratic red tape that would have hurt small businesses. This ensured businesses are only selling firearms to individuals who are legally permitted to carry them.
