Joe Faso to run for Democratic Committeeman

[johnmills80]

Turns out Joe is a Democrat now. Who knew?

[wow]

The fasos own the heights.

[Talking Point]

Is this for Bloom Township "Demorcats, that he is running for Committeemen? Are these the same Bloom Township "Democrats" that swindled the Republican Deluca into a Democratic State Rep seat in the 80th district?
TJ Somer...the "Democrat"?

These Heights politicians have no shame. What a disgrace. They are all rabid republicans, but will gladly lie to voters if they have a chance at gaining power

It really shouldn't be that hard to completely ruin these crooked heights politicians ambitions, The Heighs and its politicians don't exactly have a very good reputation, they are know for being crooked.

Deluca,Somer,Faso, put these Republicans back in there place.

[Joe Faso]

I have always been a Democrat. You sir are wrong. I am here for the people of Chicago Heights.

[johnmills80]

Yes, it is that same party. Terry Matthews is no better. Maybe the black candidate will win. Don't know much about her, but apparently she is a real estate agent from Lynnwood. Would be nice to see Faso and Matthews split the white vote.

[johnmills80]

Oh, and "Joe Faso", that is a blatant lie. We will have to get your voting record from the county to confirm. Also, the State of Illinois campaign disclosure website is showing contributions from Joseph Faso to the Bloom Township Republican Party in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 for a total of $2,040.

you are wrong. I have always been for the people.

[ashland resident]

Joe knows what is best. I don't see anyone else more qualified. I don't see you (the started of this threat) running.

[old ex chi-hghts resident]

Joe Faso is part of the "old mob descendents" crowd who can basically do what they want in the Heights as usual.

[AUGIE]

what is it with this site people just trying to take cheap shots. well guess what, you people don't know nothin. some really great things have been accomplished in the heights over the last 5 years and its gonna continue. ignore the idiots who have nothing better to do than post false b.s

[Think hard]

2007 incident could be very damaging with a certain voting group. Think hard about people who you or your allies have screwed over.

Lol!!!!!!

A "real estate agent" is running? That would scare me. As much as career politicians are automatically assigned the label of being corrupt, nothing is scary-er than someone who has no clue how politics works. I'm sorry but you need to work your way up in politics and get the respect of others before you will be able to achieve anything in a higher position. I make it a point to volunteer in every committee that I can in my village, and I've witnessed some heavy meetings between local politicians and state officials (including governors) and agencies. You get one of these well-meaning newcomers and they just stare out like a deer in the headlights, eager to give wonderful ideas about how things should be, but unable to answer difficult technical questions thrown at them. I know that's how I would be.... Nothing gets done that way, and the newcomer gets the reputation of being an idiot.(Can you say maybe the mayor of SV?) As you can tell, I'm not a fan of "throw everyone out because everyone is corrupt." JMO.

[Not Surprised Again]

Do not put your trust in Faso!!! He lies to get what he wants.

Good things like what? I've lived here all my life i've watched my family, who knows all about the crooked politicians of now and then, struggle to help Chicago Heights become the town they once knew. My grandfather, god rest his soul, new all saw all and died in shame of the place he once loved, owned businesses in, and raised his family in. From the mob to the police station, all is a shame.

Get off the gravy train and open your eyes.

The African-American candidate has dropped out of the race. Someone should find out if Faso or Matthews had anything to do with this.
