At the Mayorial forum Liz Tisdahl stated she recieved $500 and support of the fire fighters local 742 PAC, who are helping her. ( see Evanstonnow web site for a video )
 
Also Jane Grover has on her web site  stated she has been endorsed by this group. 
 
I do not know who they are endosing inthe 6th ward.
( maybe some one will coment?) 
 

Today I heard that the sale fell through for the building adjoining the North Branch library. What does that mean?
 
Council members proposed using the funds to renovate the North and South Branch.  Thus the project will most likely die?  What is interesting I believe they have awarded the engineering for the renovation.
 
Thus we may be moving one step closer to shuting the branches down. 
 
I believe the best solution to this continued mess is to have the citizens of North Evanston form their own library taxing district to take over the operation.

I think the public needs some answers out our staff and the city council members.
The water department wants millions to replace the aging water piple, claiming we may  not have adeqate fire water supply in the system. They want to increase water bills over 40% over the next few years.
So what will be the situation when the 708 Church project is built? I am not talking about fire fighters but if a fire occurs will the supply of water be adequate to fight the fire?

It appears the council will now be holding a special meeting next week - on "water and sewer rate,capital and Revenue Opportunites" - after their illegal meeting held at the water plant on Feb 12th which the public could not attend. It appears to me the council members and city staff may have met in private to discussion what water and sewer increases they should approve and how they can justify it to the public since they had the tour of the plant.
