If you read this blog, you know how badly Lisle needs change. You know about 8 consecutive years of reckless deficit spending. About 10 years of tax increases. About pay to play, secret board meetings and the "Glink stink". About the plan to bring gambling to Lisle. You know that as long as trustees Cawiezel, Boyle and Young remain in power nothing will change.
There is an election April 5, and early voting for that election is available to you now. Don't wait until April 5 unless you have to. Vote at the Village Hall this week - Monday hours are from 7:30 a.m. till 6:30 p.m., and Tuesday thru Friday hours are from 7:30 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. Make sure all voting age members of your family vote. Every vote counts. Joe Broda was reelected mayor in April 2009 by a margin of only 233 votes. Of the 13,761 registered voters in Lisle, only 3,485 voted in that election.
Electing Ledvora and Wilkie to the Board of Trustees will not solve all of Lisle's problems overnight - after all, it took 10 years to get into the mess we find ourselves in. But electing Ledvora and Wilkie is a necessary first step in the right direction. If we don't take this first step, we have only ourselves to blame for continuance of Lisle's downward spiral.
