So today, cleavage for everybody!

Just a reminder to vote "No", "Hell No" and "NFW" on the three referenda.

Tell all your friends... I just heard from a voter who got confused and voted "yes" on the second police station referendum and didn't want to. HEY FRANK WSOL! Congrats you idiot -- you nailed one person. All because you wanted your little pet project to go forward.

it doesn't matter. the City Council will do what it wants. I think those are both referenda that are a waste of space on the ballot.

the City Council is not REQUIRED to do what the voters say. it's just an advisory thing.

god help us all

Oh my god!!! I think I screwed up. I only saw 2 referenda. One for the police station a la howard and the second fro repairs. Did I do something wrong?

Oh, gack! The boy toy needs a haircut. ;P

The gypsy is correct that the referenda are advisory, but a strong message from the taxpayers will tell the City Council what we, the taxpayers, want done with our money. Based on most of the Aldermen we currently have, they may fail to get the message. It should be political suicide if they ignore the wishes of their voters. Unfortunately this has not stopped them in the past. Hopefully without Howard leading them around, they will lose their way and forget all about why they are so hell bent on building such an enormous structure.

A pubic haircut I'm sure.

Hey boy toy, the big words are meant to confuse you on #2.

If you only saw 2 referenda questions it means that you do not live in Maine Township. There was no third question in Norwood Park. I don't know about Leyden.

Just thought I would add another vote to the "yes" tally for the second reverendum question that was not intended. My neighbor asked me about it and he voted yes when he does want ANY kind of large scale new or improved police station.

If you can't convince them, confuse them!!!

Does anyone know how to get an election update without waiting until the polls close? Curiosity has been killing me all day! My fingers, toes, and everything else are crossed!

Hoover said...

No, repeat NO, vote totals until after the polls close - they're not even allowed to count until then.

Maybe PRU knows something I do not, as often seems to be the case, but I do not bleieve that there is any information available until after the polls close.

By the way, I am curious as hell too!

Oh no, four more years of Howie Mandon't. I can't take it PEOPLE!!!

Steady, folks. It's way too early to throw in the towel.

The people of Park Ridge have got to be better than to let Howie buy another 4 years in the big chair.

Why is it so low I wonder?

When the polls close and votes are tallied, go to Dave's website at www.electdaveschmidt.com. Under Election Day Update go to #3 Election Results and click on "Click Here" This will link you to a website with current poll results. In a few minutes we will be glued to this site for the night!!!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Dave Schmidt has handily kicked Howard Frimark's ass, and is the new Mayor of Park Ridge.

Congratulations to us all.
