GIGO! And Not GIGO!

The GIGO factor is shorthand for "garbage in, garbage out". We've got a lot of that going on today, and the PRU Crew has other things to do so we aren't going to be digging for anything today. We're going to leave it up to our readers to share with each other what they know about any of these subjects --

1. -- CVS Pharmacy is working behind the scenes with elected officials and city staff to move forward on their plans to build on the old Napleton Cadillac site. We recall Alderman Robert Ryan (5th Ward) saying he agreed that the site should conform to the city's comprehensive plan and be residential. We have not heard if Ald. Ryan is doing anything to follow through on that statement on behalf of his constituents.

2. -- Mayor Howard is telling people that the Illinois ACLU is planning to take up the cause of homeless shelters, and will be suing the city on behalf of the homeless, PADS, and the PRMA. One of our sources tells us that unless homeless shelters are planning on performing abortions, the Illinois ACLU isn't likely to take much of an interest, but you never know.

3. -- Mayor Howard is telling people that lawsuits have been filed against the city as a result of the Ekl audit being made public. We've got information that says that is false.


And Not GIGO --

The Park Ridge City web site has a very good explanation of the reverse 911 call system available for reading. We're not sure exactly which city staff member is responsible for putting together the information, but we feel the effort to answer the questions residents raised about the issue is excellent.
