Looks Like A Horse Race!

It looks like the election for who will be seated on the Park Ridge Park District board will be a real horse race!

We've been told 10 people submitted petitions yesterday for the 4 open board seats. Those people are --

Richard J. Brandt -- billed as a "retired realtor" by the Journal and Topics

Nicholas Giordano -- an attorney

Walter Mizialko -- of Walter's restaurant fame

Peter Wachowski -- an attorney

All the above appear to be on the SEIU (Service Employees International Union - Local 73) slate of preferred candidates which the Pub-dogs wrote about yesterday.

Rick Biagi -- an attorney, and who some of you may remember submitted a guest essay to PRU.

Scott Duerkop -- A member of the Park Ridge Parks Foundation and also, it appears, employed in the commercial real estate and investment management industry for Jones Lang LaSalle

Pawel Matula -- ?

Meredith Wisniewski -- ?

Steven Vile -- who we believe is an eye physician in Arlington Heights

Nick Milissis -- current Park Ridge Park District board member, and who we wrote about nearly a year ago

Quite an interesting mix of people!

We sure hope we've gotten the correct information listed for everyone. We look forward to hearing more about these candidates and their ideas.
