Election
Day is next Tuesday, polls open from 7am to 8pm – the only contested
races in the city outside of Alderman at Large are in Ward 4, Ward 5
and Ward 6. The negative farm team and their PDSer associates will be
out blasting and saying all sorts of lies just to get their
candidatures elected. The farm team has a new staff / new editor – only
there three months – and rely heavily on their PDSer friends.
Progressive Democrat endorsements on candidates are self-serving – this
year alone this group has held secretive meetings under their present
leadership and they haven't gathered more then 17 people at any one
meeting. It's an extremely small and negative group that wants to raise
your taxes and ban everything they think is good for you. This year it
will be a small election turnout – and they're counting on low turnout,
so their candidates have a shot at winning…don't let them fool you.
