HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Top Ten Reasons To Keep Reading PRU
in the New Year!
10) We don't accept advertising; advertisers can't call our Editor and raise holy hell about a story they didn't like and threaten to pull their advertising dollars.
9.) We offer an interactive experience on local issues with nearly unlimited space for your comments.
8.) We've got nothing to lose by ratting out the rotten apples in local government, and neither do you.
7.) We don't give a shit who you know, how long you've lived in Park Ridge, how much money you make, what club(s) you belong to, or what ivory tower gave you a degree; as a resident and/or taxpayer you are entitled to open, honest, transparent, and representative government, and that's what we are pushing for.
6.) If we know something and can verify its authenticity, we will tell it to you whether you want to read it or not; we refuse to infantilize the adult population of Park Ridge.
5.) We aren't politicians and we will never ask you for your $upport.
4.) We are a fun and entertaining alternative to the local presszzzzzzzzzzz...
3.) Where else can you see pictures of --
2.) Admit it, you like seeing arrogant politicians and stupid kool-aid drinkers being made fun of.
And the number one reason to read PRU...
1.) You don't have to press "1" for English.

Happy Anniversary!
One year ago today, the current members of the Park Ridge City Council were sworn into office.
To commemorate this momentous occasion, the PRU Crew has put together a slide show of the pictures of the Mayor and City Council that we've posted since beginning our blog.
Enjoy!
