Tom Karones says he will run as a write-in candidate in the April 2021 consolidated election after his nominating petitions were rejected because they did not have enough signatures. (Provided)
OAK LAWN, IL The nominating petitions filed by a candidate on the last day of filing for Oak Lawn s mayoral race have been rejected because the candidate did not have enough valid signatures.
Long-time Oak Lawn resident Tom Karones, 91, squeaked in under the wire on Dec. 21 when he filed his candidate papers with the Oak Lawn village clerk to get his name on the ballot for the April 2021 election. Terry Vorderer, currently the fourth district village trustee, has declared his candidacy for mayor.
Subscribe It s another example of how screwed up our system is, said Karones, a retired electrical engineer. That s a written law, any elected official is indebted to give that [ballot] information to citizens. We re electing the wrong people in office that don t know a damn thing.
According to the Illinois Election Code, the required number of signatures on a nominating petition must be equal to 5 percent and no more than 8 percent of the total number of persons who cast ballots in the last regular election.
In 2017, 9,289 votes were cast in the Oak Lawn mayoral election, 5 percent of which amount to approximately 465 signatures needed to get on the 2021 ballot.

Foxx on what aspects of himself he brought to the character of Joe:
Just enthusiasm. I feel like living in the world of what I live in. When it comes to art, when art is your trade. That is a death-defying, unpredictable place to be in. Well, I sing, but do I sing good enough? Well I play, but do I play enough, I act but do I act good enough? You never know. But you know that is your passion. And you won’t know until something falls your way. Sometimes it takes a short period of time, or it could take a lifetime. So that’s what I brought to Joe. The fact that I have that enthusiasm and it never waivers. I’m always about the fun, the joy, the laughs, the music. I could be in a little room with four or five people, playing some bongos and piano and be happy. Or be on stage with hundreds of thousands and still give the same feeling. That’s what I gave Joe.
