1. -- A slice of COW pie!
As we reported yesterday, at last night's COW meeting the City Council intended to discuss hiring a consultant to assist them in hiring a consultant to assist them in consulting on building a new police station.
Our sources tell us, instead the City Council voted unanimously to defer any action on the issue of hiring a consultant and the police station until after the April election.
Today we've also received a press release from Alderman Dave detailing his request to have city staff look into the possibility of using the city-owned vacant house at 229 S. Courtland as a means of easing the crowded conditions in the current police station.
Stay tuned!
2. -- Place your bets!
PRU readers have posted comments directing us to an online update in the Herald-Advocate. It seems the Pioneer local may have decided to really take advantage of this new fangled thang called the internet!
In the update we read that Mayor Howard "said he plans to tell the board that the proposed casino site west of River Road and north of Devon Avenue will only aggravate traffic congestion in Park Ridge and could result in an increase in crime as well." Which sounds a lot different from Mayor Howard's original statement in the press -- "Frimark acknowledged the casino "will probably increase traffic flow through town," but added, "I don't see it having a real negative effect."
The article goes on to report, "This will be the first time a representative from Park Ridge will address the Gaming Board regarding the Des Plaines casino site."
Good old Mayor Howard! Always fashionably late to the party -- or make that, just late to the party in his usual fashion.
3. -- Doo da! Doo da!
Another Herald-Advocate online update mentioned in a comment from a PRU reader lets us know that at least one Park Ridge Park Board hopeful, Walter Mizialko, may have his hat caved in and a pocket full of tin! Doo da! Doo da!
The report says, "Walter Mizialko, 62, turned himself in at the Park Ridge Police Station on Feb. 3 after a Lake County warrant was issued for his arrest. Park Ridge police did not release that Mizialko had been arrested until today, and details of the charge were not immediately available from Park Ridge or the Lake County State's Attorney's Office."
"Mizialko, who is running for the Park Ridge Park Board on a four-member slate backed by the Service Employees International Union, said he will continue his campaign."
As we told one of our friendly correspondents, "Putting this guy in a position to manage other people's money is one of the worst ideas we've ever heard!"
Mr. Mizialko, unless you are running to be first in line for the glue factory, we think you may want to give serious consideration to putting your campaign out to pasture.

I guess this new police station and the 7th ward approach - we can call it "shovel ready".
We also can call Howard Frimark and his failure(s) to include the city of Chicago's " OMP" - "Howie's Alamo".
What a legacy that he can leave when he leave's office this April.
What a game he played when he failed to respond to the city of Chicago and their agenda: More runways, fill up the hotels, fill up the cabs and fill up the skies with more planes.
The bubble has been finally broken over the city of Park Ridge and we can all thank those who were asleep at the switch when Mayor Daley and his crew have had their way with us.
Enjoy your sleep Howie because those of us in the wards that have been impacted - won't.
We can only hope that the people will make the right decision this April and not only vote with their minds but their declining home values too.
just read on Dave's site his campain office will have an open house.
See you ALL there!
So proud to have an identity thief possibly representing us on the Park Board. The union sure knows how to pick them. I love how he told H-A he intends to continue his campaign despite his arrest. I think Walter has been watching too much Blagojevitch lately. WALLY-Give it up already and save some face.
Mayor Daley & his O'Hare Modernization Director, Rosemarie Andolino are in D.C. begging for billions of stimulus package $$$$ for the O'Hare Modernatization Project. The Bensenville president, John Geils is on his way to D.C. to fight against it, and all we have to protect us is Howie.
Howard in Washington?
Did you ever see the movie series that ran in eighties and nineties which had Ernest in the main role?
Is this a possible sequel?
I think the Walter might bring some excitement to the Park Board.
Who wants straight-laced law abiding citizens in control of their tax dollars. BORING!
Let's liven it up a bit.
