Voting Against Da’ Boss
Got out and voted and I have to say I'm more than a little disappointed in the quality of the polling staff these days. The name is spelled B-E-A-T-Y, and it's on the voter registration card right there, yet still, I had to point out Liza's sheet in the rolls, and mine as well. Amazing.
But I have to say, it's great to strike a blow against what appears to be 'old time' Chicago politics in Bolingbrook. This article points out the incredible unfairness built into the system in this town. But I'm sure, if you look at any one of the rules, it is there for a reason - don't want to have cheating, do we? But the upshot of these rules enforced by a corrupt system is nothing less than... well... corrupt.
So I wrote in BONNIE ALICEA for mayor and I'm hoping she gets enough other folks as well. But even if she didn't, it's the process that's essential, and next time, maybe she'll be on the ballot for sure.
