How much fun would it be to have an official arrested for drunkenly letting the air out of the tires at a neighbor's too-loud party who then tried to outrun the police and got caught half-way over a fence? It's like she learned nothing from the scandal of her drunk driving video tape being made public. Today I’m sad Ms. Sligting wasn’t elected.

WOW Charlene Slighting MUST be the one to vote for considering the negative and absolutely contentious attacks they have engineered against her!

None of the candidates impress me and if we have to vote a loser in, vote the biggest loser in. At least I don't see her do any harm. I'm definitely on the do-no-harm bandwagon. Maybe it will shake things up. Elgin can always use a good shaking. No doubt everyone here has seen the arrest video. I wouldn't allow that woman to mow my lawn. I don't care how tired she was - it is no excuse for mowing over my flowers and shrubbery. Warren and Morales are too active in civic circles! Fernandez isn't active enough in civic circles! It is good that Robins doesn't take money from some people but not good that he refuse money from anyone! Who are you? And what org. do you represent? Ever think of doing stand-up comedy?

How can the incumbents defend themselves at ANY of these forums? It will be a wiggle show when they speak! LOL. I guess we'll find out. BTW, the guy I am dying to see in action is John Prigge.

The "team builder" claim shocks me. I have seen signs of alienation at forums from her. Throw in the fact that she is being guided by Carl and Chris Missele who are guided by councilman Dave Kaptain and I'm dumbfounded they would allow that to happen more than once. That shows me Sligting may be uncoachable. Again, to ONLY have four main issues (non-offending and cupcake issues, by the way) of concern on her website for 2-3 months is deplorable and chicken. This city needs a 311 system like it needs another river. Her other "important" issues are akin to buying Girl Scout cookies and planting flowers. Elgin needs a candidate who is NOT scared of tough issues. Not scared of the issues and not scared of offending people with their feelings ABOUT the issues. That's NOT Charlene Sligting. By a longshot. This looks like an endorsement born out of sympathy and a candidate’s resiliency to unfair attacks and she has been unfairly attacked.

WHAT???? She's not afraid of her OWN opinions-lets hope not. The Merchants in the swan area are wondering if she'll listen to THEIR opinions. I have the day off today and i'm just reading all this silly stuff. lets move away from Charlene. She too easy of target. let me know when four year race starts. “She is a phenomenal team builder and listener who is not afraid of her own opinions.” WHAT????
