And as the flyer stated, he really did contact me within 3 days. We spoke for almost 1/2 an hour. He listened to all of my concerns for the city. i have lived in Elgin for almost 50 years. I have sadly watched my town go from a place where you would want to raise your kids, to a harbor town. Mike put me at ease when he told me ideas for this once great town. Balancing the city budget, and using our laws that are on the books to stop the criminal activity, are just the tip of the iceberg for this guy. I truly believe he can and will make our town safe and great again. I received a Mike Robins flyer. And as the flyer stated, he really did contact me within 3 days. We spoke for almost 1/2 an hour.

When you hide behind the "It's a Federal issue" skirt you are endorsing illegals. Hiding isn't helping, it's promoting. Figueroa KNOWS his only existance is due to the sympathizers of illegal aliens. Hopefully, REAL citizens will outnumber those who feel allowing illegal activity to exist in their city is permissable. Figueroa ABSOLUTELY DOES support illegal aliens infesting Elgin!

If you feel that the Schock Block policies aren't supportive of Elgin's ability to cope with the illegal population, then go out and find the independent thinkers who will brake up that iceberg we know as our city council. I only have experience with one, Dunne, but I support him all the way. The council needs someone who can see the end-game in their decisions, a vision that is currently lacking. He is that type of guy. If you want things to change, vote for someone different than is currently there.

He is from Puerto Rico, NOT Puerto Vallarta! AND is 1 of only 2 current incumbents who EVER challenge Shock and have their own independent thought processes! He is the only incumbent currently running that I would vote for. Wait a minute - just because Juan Figueroa is a Latino, don’t assume he supports illegal immigration!

This may be just what happens when a candidate aligns himself with a mayor who believes in bending over to let more illegal aliens ruin Elgin. It's kind of a guilt-by-association thing, you know? Either Warren knows and doesn't care or honestly thought that his string-puller, Ed Schock, would not put him under this type of scrutiny. Dannyblake: You may be right.

If you have questions about a candidate’s finances and actually desire the truth, please refer to the State Board of Elections website. I don't see either Schock or SEIU mentioned under Warren's list of contributors. Is the dealing with the truth that far of a stretch? Boxcar:

If they were mass mailings, that tells me he is getting big-time bucks from Schock and/or SEIU. WOW! That's hundreds of dollars. We cannot take another Schock on this council. JEEZ! This city is worse than it was four years ago, that's for sure. How can any incumbent defend their record now? Next Monday, we'll see. This should be a comedy. Warren sent out THREE mailers???

Everyone better be aware that if Emi Morales and Juan Figueroa get in office they will support illegal aliens living and working in Elgin. They could care less what negative effects this has on Elgin legal residents. Emi’s famous quote, when asked about overcrowded neighborhoods, which is a huge problem especially in older neighborhoods, she said, she would allow it she said we need to have compassion, these are poor people and will need to live together. Yah Emi, how about the legal residents that have watched as their home values plunge so your illegal’s can live2 and 3 families to a single home. Mike Warren with Schock’s help spent a fortune to win the primary. He sent out 3 mailers had signs all over town. He will truly be a member of the Schock fraternity. He gets in and if no change is made in the current council than King Schock will rule for at least 2 more years. Than Elgin will really be lost. All the people that complain and never vote and sit home and expect someone else to do it better wake up. This election gives you a chance to change Elgin’s direction. Mike Robins, John Prigge and Richard Dunne will vote independently and will not be part of the Schock Block, Please get out and vote God knows we need change.

Count the total votes - only about 2100 people voted - pathetic! I sincerely hope the balance of registered voters stand up to be counted on April 4th - Elgin DESPERATELY needs a change!
