DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Wheaton mayoral candidate Suess focusing on fiscal responsibility – Glenn Minnis
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511779250-mayoral-candidate-suess-focusing-on-fiscal-responsibility
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Wheaton City Council member Phil Suess is being saluted by his supporters as the antithesis of fellow council member John Prendiville in their run to replace Mayor Michael Gresk, who is not seeking re-election. At a Feb. 17 fundraiser to formally kick off his campaign held at the DuPage County Historical Museum, Suess’ “experience, background and principles” were touted as what Wheaton now needs most. A longtime local businessman who has served on the council since 2005, the 61-year-old Seuss is credited in the campaign flyer with often being the voice of reason on the panel, especially when it came to matters such as keeping property tax rates in order. “Phil has led the city financially and focused on paying down debt and making reasonable affordable investments in core infrastructure (sewers, water, roads, sidewalks, and trees) without taking on risky projects,” detailed the invite to his Feb. 17 event. “He has literally saved the residents millions of dollars by being prudent and demanding better bids on projects. He voted against unnecessary property tax increases.“ In contrast, Prendiville is tagged in the flyer as a “big taxes and big government” legislator who has “voted for every tax increase.” The flyer adss, “As a city councilman, Prendiville advocated against Wheaton’s families and businesses and wanted the city to take on debt and incur annual subsidies to operate a private theater that was not (and is still not) able to attract sufficient private investment. Prendiville argued against private development of Mariano’s which brings in $700,000 worth of sales tax a year. Prendiville argued against the development of DuPage Medical Group… Prendiville’s tendency is always to suggest more government and higher taxes and government overreach on private property.” Finally, Seuss supporters in the advertisement urged voters to know exactly who they are casting their ballot in favor of. ”Your City Council has enormous power over your property,” the flyer added.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1990, Bush vetoed a civil rights bill. Advocates of the measure argued it would help combat employment discrimination. The White House contended it would have incentivized “hiring and promotion quotas.” The following year, Bush signed a scaled-back version of the legislation.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Governor Bruce Rauner and other Illinois Republicans rallied at the Benedictine University in Lisle on the eve of Tuesday’s election. Rauner was wrapping up a 9-day bus tour of the state with one last attempt to get his supporters to the polls. If we get the turnout, we’re going to win it,” predicted Rauner. He was joined by other Republicans including Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti. The two reminded voters that if Rauner loses the election Democrats will control the house and the governor’s mansion. “We have a governor that’s always stood up to Mike Madigan, and we have a governor who is going to stand up to the person that Mike Madigan appointed which is J.B. Pritzker,” said Sanguinetti. Rauner asked his supports to remind their neighbors to go the polls on Tuesday. He said voters have been telling him, “Stay strong, don’t back down don’t give in. You’re on the right track. Madigan has got to go.”)

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/414525-top-10-republican-house-seats-most-likely-to-flip-in-a-blue-wave
(FROM THE ARTICLE: PETER JAMES ROSKAM (IL-06) Democrats close campaign by hammering GOP on health care WaPo fact-checker accuses Republicans of misleading voters about fact-checks Bloomberg quietly spends millions in TV ads Roskam may have won reelection by a wide 18-point margin in 2016. But Clinton also claimed victory in his district, fueling Democratic optimism in the six-term Republican’s affluent, Chicagoland district. The Cook Political Report puts the race between Roskam and Democrat Sean Casten in the “Lean Democratic” column, and strategists say that Roskam’s prospects are shaky. Democrats are outspending Republicans to boost Casten in the district, and a recent New York Times/Siena College poll put the Democrat ahead by 2 points. Meanwhile, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) is struggling in his bid for a second term and a poor performance on his part could trickle down the ballot, says one GOP strategist.)
