Politics: December 2007 Archives

Dear Swami, What a disgrace to Gurnee residents the former mayor (Don Rudny) and his majority block trustee (Tom Chamberlain) have become. WKRS radio featured these two as fill-in … and their listeners certainly got filled full of beans by these two. … Don, the former mayor, is Tom's adult sitter and tag teams with Tom to provide a constant flow of partisan spun misinformation.

Dear Swami, Now we hear that new Chicago Tribune owner Sam Zell may sell the Cubs to someone we don’t know yet, but he’s going to sell Wrigley Field to the state which will sell the naming rights. Is this right? Is this good? Guide us, oh Swami. Signed: Dumfounded in Deerfield
