Allegedly, the residents of Park Ridge's 6th ward are being represented by Alderman Thomas Carey. We haven't seen much evidence of that, but we have no reason to doubt the Cook County Clerk's vote totals. We do believe Alderman Thomas Carey does exist.
However, residents of the 6th ward had ample reason to question Alderman Carey's existence when they tried to get his phone number from directory assistance so they could ask him for help and guidance after the August Act of God. Those residents found that Alderman Carey's phone number was unlisted. And it remains unlisted.
The city's web site does list a phone number for Alderman Carey, but residents without electrical power couldn't access the city's web site to get it, and residents without computer internet access still can't.
Alderman Carey, if you did not intend to make yourself available to your constituents by the usual means, what motivated you to seek public office, besides Mayor Frimark's enthu$ia$tic $upport?
Over $3,000.00 of enthu$ia$tic $upport. That's ten times the amount the mayor gave to the Park Ridge-Niles Citizens for Strong Schools committee, and almost half of your campaign's total reported expenditures.
We expect you have shown the mayor your appreciation for his generous support.

Can anyone tell me why the meeting for the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was cancelled tonight? And do you by any chance know who they were referring to in the agenda item 5B and 5C? Where they referring to our beloved Police Chief Caudill?
It was cancelled because B.K. considered all the consequences and took the "deal".
5B&C were not about the Chief, per our sources.
Look for more fish to get netted - good luck T.R.
I get the feeling you don't tell everything you know.
Go with that. ;-)
Agenda items A thru Z needs to be investigated. Call the FBI and lets all get to bottom of it.
The back room deals with cigar smoke is choking us all......
Smells like Chicago back in the 30's......
