Vote for four more years of progress

Four more days until we know who voters want to guide the Village of Carpentersville for the next 4 years.  A letter in the Daily Herald today expresses support for Ritter, Teeter, Schultz and McFeggan.  The only reason?  Because they were not ever supported by the Roeser’s.

Yeah, I agree, it’s pretty thin — and not a good reason to vote for or against anyone.  But, its typical because none of the Ritter, Teeter, Schultz, McFeggan supporters have been able to explain anything that those 4 have done for the Village.  But they say we should vote for those 4?  Why?!

What does anyone have against 4 more years of action and progress in this Village?

Sarto got the capital improvement program moving, and funded it without raising taxes.  He has improved this Village IN SPITE of the antics and interference by these Board members.

Four years of Ritter, Teeter, Schultz and McFeggan is four years of the kind of foot dragging we had in the years before Sarto and Sliwinski got in. The roads and sidewalks are a good example. They were hemming and hawing for months about whether to do it and how to pay for it. Any talk was just for show, I’m sure, since they were already planning for Paul Humpfer to run for Village President. Like Judy and Paul started the illegal immigration talk; for the election.

When Humpfer ran, his resume was paper-thin – he needed to act like he was doing something. And the resumes of Ritter, Teeter, Schultz and McFeggan are paper-thin too.  So, they used the Carpentersville Improvement Committee to establish their campaign–even campaigning while acting on behalf of the Village.  (They attributed the CIC work to themselves -and the immigration group, not the Village committee.) We can’t afford to go back to a do-nothing era.
