"your" so stupid??
You might try "you're" before you criticize others.
BTW, you are not correct.

Dear Stupid,

Perhaps an English lesson would helpful when you're looking at the ballot.

It's you're, not "Your".
And
It's they're, not "there".

I forgot, it's politics and name calling is always permitted and perhaps why congress just can't seem to be civil any more.

The message is, his place has been for sale twice and he forgot this was an election and not trying to get out of town!

7:58 - you're wrong about that. Ms. Becks introduced a referendum that changed the charter a few years ago that makes it so they are running for "seats". There are 3 at-large "seats" and they are each running for that specific one. Seat 1 begins January 1, Seat 2 begins January 2, and Seat 3 begins January 3.

10:48 You would be surprised at the number of people unaware of this fact.
10:29 Cute. Now I have no idea why Mr. Fitzgerald would have a picture of his house/business on his yard signs? That said he paid for them and it seems to draw attention.
7:58 Many times I have been corrected on the word your now it's your turn.
What I enjoy about this blog. is seeing things I pay little or no attention to many of you seem to notice.
The picture of the car in the levy ad. Now Fitzgeralds house on his yard signs? Conceit or for sale?
Scaring people into voting for a levy?

I see about a year ago the Fitzgeralds were asking almost $500,000 for their house? Wonder what Tom thinks about the cost's of those levies on his abode?
Better yet how can you be a councilman if your running tours to Europe all the time? I don't seeing him giving that up. Those levies would add to $5,000 a year in taxes think hard Tommy!
The house picture is alittle over the top.
My wife wants to know if you will quit shaving again if you get elected?

How does Arlene Becks get by with

" Re-Elect "

On her yard signs, yes she was on council at one time but she is not on council at this time
and it is very miss leading to people
some think she is the incumbent.

11:52 $5000? I believe it's closer to $500 . Ask him about his tours on candidate night.
5:36 I don't know and it seems to not be kosher. First yes she was on council and the sign also mentioned return.(I hope she ran this by the Board of Elections) This is just another example of how it's immpossible for me to support her. Look now we have had to change the 'Meet the Candidate Night' She has a fundraiser on the 22nd so now the night has been moved to the 29th.

Ms Beck's is concerned with Ms Beck's and has not looked after the best interest of the city. That said she has the votes in her community and will give Lori a run for her money. Best get thee to the polls residents. There is so much riding on the ballot this year.

I am looking into FATS.

Why would you move the date of the candidates night? To suit her?

Ms Becks

Is asking for money door to door and by passing out flyers,

also is it ok for someone running for office to be there own treasurer ?

and I see the
Lake County Democratic Party have
endorsed her.
and Andy Flock

I've seen Ms. Becks call herself Councilwoman Becks when she was no longer in office - I believe she may have done it on this website. The job always did go to her self-important head. I beg people not to vote for her. She's out of office, as she should be. Let's just let that one go. She was useless in office.

12:06 People call themselves whatever. Senator, Congressman, whatever. It's nice when they say former. Yes you can be your own Treasurer 12:02
We wanted all residents the opportunity to meet all candidates and Arlene couldn't change her reservation date at the Elk's Club. The BOE let them move the date a week later.
FATS was open and I had lunch there today.
