Anonymous flyers appeared over the weekend in Evanston opposing incumbent aldermen in the 1st, 3rd and 7th Wards. But one of the targets of the attack says she knows where they came from.
Alderman Judy Fiske, 1st Ward, says 6th Ward resident and frequent City Council critic Mike Vasilko knocked on her Sherman Avenue door as he was distributing flyers to her neighbors.
A 6th Ward resident said he was removed from a virtual Tuesday 1st Ward meeting after attempting to ask Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) a question about a Council vote regarding the Robert Crown Community Center.
At the start of the meeting, Fiske said, “There is a political campaign going on, so we’re not going to talk politics tonight.” When 6th Ward resident Mike Vasilko asked about Robert Crown’s contractor not paying a penalty for failing to meet a local employment threshold based on a vote Fiske joined, Fiske said she would not engage in a political conversation. She also said Vasilko should ask the question at his own ward meeting.
