Over the course of this campaign, I have endeavored to articulate my positions and explain my reasoning process. I have spoken at City Council meetings, written blogs and responded to others'. My opponents in the 7th Ward aldermanic race have not been as prolific, but with several forums and multiple questionnaires from various community groups, differences in positions and opinion are beginning to emerge.

Today I recieved Liz Tisdahl flyer in the mail, it suggest she has creative budget solutions.
One of budget solution she plans to renegotiate Evanston water contracts? She seems to think somehow she is going to get the other suburbs to give us more money. Lets get real! At one point she was stating legal action. This is alot of nonsense that will just waste our tax dollars.

Opening statement to a forum sponsored by Citizens for a Greener Evanston and the Evanston Public Library:
I want to especially thank Citizens for a Greener Evanston for sponsoring tonight's forum because it gives us a chance to talk about something else besides budgets and zoning, positions and policy.
I'm eager to answer your questions about environmental issues and Evanston.

The Circuit Court of Cook County earlier this week dismissed the lawsuit filed by Assessor Eckersall's former Deputy Assessor.
I was hoping that this would end before the election so that the taxpayers would see that this lawsuit was truly not my fault - budget cut.
Hopefully, the voters will look at experience when they go to vote since we are in hard economic times and that we do indeed need experience in the Assessor's Office.
On her answers to the CSNA questionnaire, Jane Grover stated that she supported further extensions of time for the developer of 1700-1722 Central Street. I was curious to know why, so I asked her. This was her response:
Laurie:
Thanks for asking. I'm glad to hear from you.
