  • Finances a sticky issue for Walsh
    NorthWest Herald:  March 07, 2010
    Financial troubles do not bode well for congressional candidates looking to have a say monitoring the nation’s taxpayer-funded pocketbook, said political experts such as David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. “People don’t want to elect people who appear to them to be incompetent in the management of their own affairs,” Yepsen said. Joe Walsh did not disclose the foreclosure before winning a six-way Republican primary Feb. 2.

  • Joe Walsh and the debt he didn't pay
    Daily Herald:  March 06, 2010
    If Congressional candidate Joe Walsh was so hard up for money that he couldn't fulfill his obligation on a $300,000 mortgage, why was he able to afford to rent an $860,000 colonial in Winnetka with an in-ground pool? If he needed more room for his large family, why didn't he look to rent a house of the same size but for half the price in, say, Wauconda or Lake Zurich? Is it possible he could have managed his mortgage payments if he had done that?

  • Bissett takes over county Dems
    NorthWest Herald:  March 06, 2010
    "I think that the fact that the votes were so evenly split shows that we had two strong candidates,” said Michael Bissett, who lives in Lake in the Hills. His background in business and marketing, plus his involvement in local campaigns for his wife Paula Yensen as well as another county board member, James Kennedy, made him a strong candidate, Bissett said. “I have a background in helping people in business become more successful in what they do,” he said.

    County Board Member Pat Carey, D-11th, of Grayslake, is a vocal opponent of video gambling as a means of raising state revenue and spoke out in favor of a ban at the county level and in Grayslake.

"Including the ability of local governments to opt out (of the original legislation) was an acknowledgment that some people didn't want it," she said.

    I am honored to have won that race for the Democratic nomination for Circuit Court Judge in the 19th Judicial Circuit, 4th Subcircuit, and am thankful for the support of friends and family on Election Day and throughout my campaign. I also would like to thank the other candidates, Dwayne Douglas, Chris Kennedy and Jeremy Schwartz. The four of us met many times on the campaign trail. I enjoyed getting to know them, and I have great respect for their many and varied accomplishments. One thing I hope we accomplished together through our campaigns was to improve voters' understanding of the role and importance of the judiciary. The judges who preside over the courtrooms in Lake County have a direct impact on our entire community, and an informed and engaged voting public is necessary to make sure that the impact is a positive one.

    Arlington Heights, like other local communities, is urging its residents to cooperate with the collection of U. S. Census data. In late February and in March, census forms will be mailed or delivered to homes, according to a news release from the village. The form is one of the shortest forms in the history of the Census with only 10 questions that should take 10 minutes to complete. It cannot be filled out online. It is available in English and Spanish. The Census Bureau cannot share individual census responses with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities. The village receives revenue from the state based on population count, which directly impacts village services. Residents who do not fill out and return the census form will be visited by census takers.

    Three veteran politicians - Joseph Berrios, Raymond Figueroa and Robert Shaw - aim to win the Democratic seat for Cook County assessor in the Feb. 2 primary. But they offer different backgrounds and opinions on how they vow to meet the issues in the race. They each have held various positions throughout Chicago and at the county level, providing a sampling of endorsements from community leaders. And each man maintains strong ties to the city, yet expresses strong beliefs that suburban taxpayers are vital to the heart of Cook County. In fact, they each seek to reinstate the suburban assessor's branch offices to allow local taxpayers, especially seniors and those with disabilities, a chance to transact their county business closer to home.
