		<description>Miss Sligting, you keep bringing up this Fire Chief question as if its a big deal or major factor, its not! OK, everyone took the question for granted as a given and answered it. There is much more you are all over the place on. You appear as a climber, you tell groups or individuals what seems approiate at the time. I have sensed this in all of the forums. And speaking of Forums, Did you realize how many people in the front and back were laughing at you when you said there are people that tell you, that you remind them of Marie Yearman! You are no Marie Yearman, not even close. That was a horrible thing to say at the library to try and save yourself at the last minute after all of your faults and weaknesses during this campaign and your personal life, which does illistrate how someone will act on the council! And the firefighter data, ok, fine, you continue to repeat this time and time again like a broken record, like this was your bonanza research of the year. I have heard many comments from friends of mine and people I know in town, I grew up here. If you happen to make it through the primary, there is no way you will make the general election with all of your college antics and side stepping you have done. The problem is, you may split the vote for someone who deserves to be in there for us.</description>

		<description>Don't forget Tom Sandor. The one-time adorer of Republican Marie Yearman who played all his Republican cards and lost in a re-election campaign. Then saw the Dems as a chance to get back in while proclaiming that most Chicago Jews are Dems so what's the big deal?

Then a spanking at a cost of 30K to the Dems to lose as Kane County auditor last Fall. A race he was clearly in if only to have a job. The current guy did and does nothing wrong. Now he is in obscurity hosting a radio show in Elgin that is merely an extension of his political career; a bitter loser. How bitter? He is so petty and jealous over losing the last two races, he has refused to interview ANY city council candidates on his show, so far. NONE. Even though there are 16 candidates for 4 seats! 

WRMN will never be considered a valid and legit radio station that serves the public but to not have ONE candidate on so far is petty and childish of Sandor and WRMN.

Don't bother calling the station to complain, they don't care unless you want to buy something from the near-endless home shopping coupon show.</description>

		<description>RS, all good points on party affliliation.

In many ways the illegal alien issue is like the slavery issue in the 1850s: a transformative event that challenges the very identity of America and, in the 1850s, changed America's two-party system from Democratic and Whig to Democratic and Republican.  The Illegal movement is the largest criminal movement in American history.  Through its massive wealth from peon labor it has infected  both political parties, and citizens know that they cannot expect their interests and welfare to be represented simply by picking the "Democratic" or "Republican" brand.

Essentially, the only real issue in the spring's upcoming local elections is alien poverty.  It's the issue that underlies all the issues about the fate of "downtown" Elgin, parking restrictions, neighborhood integrity, public safety, the stability of our public facilities, and the survival of our public schools and other institutions.  The election will turn on those who have joined with the government of Mexico to benefit from the transformation of America through massive alien poverty ("immigration" in their code) and those who don't.  "Democrat" and "Republican" are not helpful in identifying those groups.</description>

		<description>I caution those who say that this person or that person is a Republican or Democrat based on who they may be associated with or have associated with in the past or supported in the past.

Party identification is for many people a fluid concept. Furthermore, some people support candidates who belong to the opposite party. 

Keep in mind that in this election cycle, we have a Democratic Wegman and a Democratic Rauschenberger on the ticket.

And there are people who are nominally Republicans only because Republicans use to dominate politics in this area. You know who they are.

And then there was Juan Figueroa who toyed with the idea of running for state senate at one point as a Democrat, then as a Republican.

And then there was Noverini...</description>

		<description>Good evening everyone.

Yes, I have received AFLAÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s endorsement http://www.legalamericans.net/SLIGTINGENDORSEMENT.html .  This was for many reasons such as my position regarding our overcrowding issue, the need to return our older communities back to traditional neighborhoods, willingness to working with other municipalities and our elected Congressmen to make changes locally and the fact that we need to seek ways to work more closely with ICE.  Reporting to ICE every 30 days is unacceptable.  

Within this site, there have been both positive and negative things said about me.  There also have been postings regarding my divorce and bankruptcy.  I will not blog about my divorce nor things that were a result of my divorce because my ex-husband deserves his privacy.  If there is going to be mud-slinging, I will not participate in that either.   Each candidate has his or her own weakness and I refuse take part in Chicago-style politics to win an election.

Elginite bloggers, we need to get back to the issue of what each candidate can and will bring to City Council.  You deserve a candidate who takes the time to research the issues.  Over 2.2 million dollars was spent last year for Firefighter overtime.  We can hire 11 full time firefighters, which will provide quicker response time and will save taxpayers an additional $500,000 per year.  Also, I encourage you to read the AFLA questionnaire http://www.legalamericans.net/CANDIDATEINDEX.html and pay close attention to question number 24.  You deserve a candidate who attended city council meetings regularly prior to running for office.  By attending meetings it would have been clear that we have had a Fire Chief since November 1, 2007.   As president of a neighborhood association, I have heard first hand the fears of long time Elgin residents, the desires from new residents to enhance our community and those who are frustrated and want to leave Elgin.  

Too many people feel that their voice has gone unheard.  My commitment to you is I will not rubberstamp anything, make sure your voice is heard and be progressive such as reading and posting to this blog.

I look forward to future dialogue regarding you wants and needs for a better Elgin.</description>

		<description>Elgin cannot afford another sympathizer and enabler of illegal aliens on the council, even if it is for only two years. Robins is the only hope in this particular race. Sligting is a fair-weather candidate on important issues even though she has been endorsed by AFLA. 

The others? The mean no chance for illegal alien lawfulness when it comes to the disease of illegal aliens overrunning Elgin. We all better bend over even more if Warren, Morales, Rodgers or Fernandex gets in. 

That would make it FIVE illegal alien lovers. Kaptain is not a shoe-in on this issue. This race is to IMPROVE ELGIN NOT keep it declining.

5 to 1 for MORE illegal aliens?! Not for THIS American.</description>

		<description>Warren, sligting and Morals are Republicans. Mike and Emi worked on Hoeft campaign. Slighting and Morles worked on Munson &amp; Sen. Rauschenberger, Morales worked on Golden's, (she came to my door with Patrica) but is friends with noverini too. This is a non-partisan race but I think all three can work with both parties. Noland is supporting Brenda he gave her #250.00. As far as smearing goes, Eckols freinds are very loyal to him. As far as defeating Morales-That would be Warren.</description>

		<description>RS, you're right. We need to start thinking about who can defeat Emi Morales.

Emi Morales and Veronica Noland work together on LULAC. Veronica's husband, state sen Mike Noland is a big SEIU guy (they gave him $9,334). Considering that his wife is on LULAC and SEIU is trying to legalize all illegal aliens, we can figure out where he stands on this. 

Having more illegal aliens in Elgin will help drive out repub voters, so Noland can keep his senate seat for far longer if Emi Morales is on the city council helping to bring more illegals into Elgin.

So what do you think is happening? Noland has a capable campaign organization and you can bet the dollar in your pocket that it's going to be used to elect Emi Morales. AND the SEIU is going to send their goons out to support her, and throw thousands of dollars her way.

We need to UNITE behind one candidate who can defeat Emi Morales. The Morales people knew early on that Charlene Sligting was their biggest threat, and you know what happened. Charlene has taken the high road and refused to point fingers about who is responsible, but it's obvious when the people who are smearing her are at the same time talking up Emi Morales.

Boxcar, I'm skeptical like you are, but I think RS has a point. Charlene Sligting might be the only candidate who can defeat Emi Morales. 

AFLA has given her their endorsement, so maybe they know more than we do. Let's hope so.

I'll be voting for Charlene Sligting.</description>

		<description>Did you forget illegal aliens, Charlene??

AFLA said you were one of their choices. Do you rate illegals behind overcrowding, code enforcement, providing city services and reduce city spending???</description>

		<description>We need a person on City Council who will not rubber stamp anything. I truly feel that I can make a difference for you on City Council regarding overcrowding, code enforcement and ensuring that our quality of life is not affected by lack of basic city services along with ways to reduce city spending. 

I take full responsibility for my actions during the arrest and Officer Young was nothing but professional during that time. My complaint was filed against the other officer for his actions while we were in the squad car and at the police station. My mention of this at the forum was so that everything could be put on the table and was some how lost in my response. Again, I apologize if it came across that I was "blaming" the officer.</description>
