Larry, there is no conspiracy . . .
The Elections Committee item I introduced is EXACTLY THE SAME as the one Alder MacCubbin worked on a year ago. I asked Mike to sponsor cuz we had talked about it earlier, I asked Tim to sponsor it cuz it was his constituent who brought the issue to our attention and worked on the language a year or two ago. Brian added his name while I was turned around in my seat talking to Tim and Austin added his name from the floor . . .
freaking relax . . .
and the only reason it got reintroduced is because it went nowhere last time, the mayor’s office offered to work on it, to form a workgroup with alders and interested parties . . . and that never happened, so when I was perturbed about the polling place for ward 40, which was already not in the 2nd district, is being moved a few blocks further away from the district . . . and the fact that the clerk didn’t even seem to know which alder represented that area because their office had Alder King as a sponsor instead of myself . . . it reminded me that we hadn’t moved forward at all on some of the many issues . . . so I reintroduced.
Larry, you can co-sponsor if you’d like, just call Tammy in the clerks office, no one is stopping you – this isn’t a partisan thing, no matter how you try to spin it. Why so suspicious all the time?
