It’s a cold wet dreary day. The kind of day that people who just “talk the talk” can handily use as an excuse to stay home, or go directly to the office instead of heading to their polling place and exercising the right that was earned for them by the blood of the more than 650,000 American military personnel who gave their lives on various battlefields around the world since the first shots were fired in the Revolution.
And for those of you who think our local elections are minor league events that don’t matter, today’s elections will decide who will be in charge of spending approximately $260 MILLION+ of our money EACH of the next four years at the City, the Park District, D-207 and D-64.
Anybody can talk the talk. But real Americans also walk the walk.
