Rain couldn't dampen the spirit. It was a day for celebrating our Independence and for enjoying the Blues. Many thanks to John Nance and Chainsaw Dupont, the band and the umbrella angels. If you enjoyed the music, join CSNA and march with us in the parade next year!

The yard signs are long gone; the new Council has been seated. Detailed voting data is now available from the Cook County Clerk's office. I support Alderman Grover and I offer belated thanks to my supporters. Running for public office is a learning experience and I would like to share my lessons.
There is a 6th Ward or town hall meeting planned for Wed., June 10, 7PM in the auditorium of Willard Elementary School.
Representatives from the Evanston Police Department will be speaking about recent burglaries in the Ward and efforts to stop the criminal activity. A complete agenda is forthcoming.
If you or your neighborhood organization would like to receive ongoing updates about our Ward and City Hall please send me your email address(s).

This item is on the agenda for the next council meeting Monday 27th. What has the discussion on this been? If anyone knows could they summarize community sentiment on this. What does the city get back from Northwestern for this? Maybe Northwestwern would clean up the parking lot on Central Street. It's an eyesore.

Is there a political machine that controls Evanston Elections? Some have proclaimed that every winning candidate had the backing of Jan Schakowsky and Julie Hamos. Similar lists of elected or former elected officials appeared on multiple candidate support lists and brochures. Many winners did have such support.
But, maybe there was also a message that can be found in the campaign issues…. and the positions of the candidates ...that would explain the outcome.
