Gene has been a good mayor. Why would this leak on Topix instead of a real announcement? Unless of course you didn't know what you are talking about and are one of the troublemakers.

[Really]

"You have Nothing" Are you out of your mind! Everyone knows that Gene is not running. Why are you guys trying to keep this knowledge from the public? Are you trying to keep people from circulating petitions? Oh by the way petitions are due December 23rd.

[confirmed]

Gene told me was not running. Gentlemen star your egines!

[It is True]

Gene is Not running for Mayor and Chuck Tokar is not running for Clerk! How does one obtain and circulate for these offices?

Prove it. Where does any News source or Official Village source say the Mayor is not running for Re-election. Show us. Otherwise, you have nothing.

[Mayor aint running]

I spoke with Gene and he told me he is NOT running. I think that some of the good old boys are keeping it under wraps so that noone runs.

[NEW TICKET]

Chuck for Mayor Jack for Clerk.

No way. That will never happen. Gene is probably running again in order to keep that from happening. And those two? How bad an image can we give ourselves? Gene is running you have nothing.

[cover up]

You have nothing you don't know what you're talking about gene is retiring.

[God Save Us]

Good citizens of Chicago Ridge say NO to the back room deals being made now that Gene is retiring. They are trying to install Political hacks like Chuck "I like em young and pretty" Tokar and Jack "tripple dipper"Lind. If you are honest and care about the people please circulate petitions and run.

God Bless Chicago Ridge

“In free governments, the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns. For the former, therefore, to return among the latter is not to degrade but to promote them.”

- Benjamin Franklin, 1787

The Founding Fathers believed that politics should be a duty to be performed for the sake of the common good, not for the sake of a career, not for the sake of being a politician. Without term limits politicians become career royals who need not worry about the common good as long as the checks keep coming.

[Good Bye]

Gonna miss you Gene.

How much do you talk to him now? He is at work every day. If you need something done in the Village go over to the Hall and ask for him. He will come to the window and invite you into his office, if he is available, or you will be asked to set up an appointment where he will meet with you or he will call you at home when he is available. You don't have to miss him.

You Sir Are an Idiot.... I am talking about when he is replaced by who ever is running for Mayor this April. Gene is NOT running for ReElection. He told me directly. He said that Chuck Tokar is running and possibly others. Hence, Good Bye Gene I will miss you.
