Hard to believe that it's been a year since the Citizens for Progressive Action team was elected to the Oak Park Village Board, but I was reminded of that fact a week ago Thursday when a Wednesday Journal reporter called me while I was watching the first new episode of "The Office" since before the writer's strike (Thank God for DVRs) to ask how I thought our first year in office went.
It went fast.
So fast that I'm just now getting around to starting this blog.
The idea here is to highlight key issues and explain my perspectives on them so that readers have greater insight into what's happening in Village government and what it's like to be a Trustee. During the 2007 campaign I often said that as a Trustee, I would strive to make the kind of decisions that most reasonable citizens would make if they had access to the information and the time to study it that we as Trustees have. This blog is an effort to put readers into the Trustee's chair, so to speak, and I hope the result is a greater level of understanding of the issues facing our community.
Though I may play one on Channel 6, I am not a professional politician, so this blog will not consist solely of self-serving b.s. It will be frank and to the point, and won't pull any punches, but will always stick to the issues.
Your comments are welcome and will be posted if you want them to be, assuming I can figure out how to work the "comments" feature on the site.
Oh, by the way, you can read the WJ story about our first year in office here.
