That explains it.















It appears Mayor Frimark didn't participate, as we noted, in a meeting for residents with ComEd officials because he was carefully rationing his syllabic energies for an upcoming fundraising event with Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani. But we do understand that politics is a lot more fun than policy, and the get-togethers are usually catered better too.


AP, September 6, 2007 (DES PLAINES, Ill.) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton grew up in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge but the town's mayor said it belongs to Republican Rudy Giuliani.


"She's been gone a long time," Mayor Mark Frimark said after joking Thursday with Giuliani at a campaign event in a nearby suburb.



Mayor "Mark" Frimark? Do you think he gave that hapless reporter an alias? We would have, because we wouldn't want to take credit for that insightful gem of a quote either!


Asked for an opinion on the ownership of Park Ridge, resident and former 5th ward Alderman Howard Anderson responded, "I don't remember Giuliani ever living here, nor do I remember signing my property over to him. This may be upsetting to the local Ron Paul supporters."


We do have to take credit for that last bit. We completely made it up.

People in town need a true leader to be our Mayor....right now we have someone more concerned with self-promotion than moving the city forward.

Who will step up and make this town better?
