Editorial: Time to put aside politics and be ready to govern
The end of a long local election season comes as a welcome relief for campaign-weary suburbanites remember, we also had a state and national election in November and signals a new focus for members of park, library, school, township and municipal bodies. It’s time to govern.
Candidates who won seats in last week’s election and soon will be sworn into office, as well as current board members in the middle of their terms, now must put aside the campaign mindset of the last four months. The time for rhetoric, criticizing opponents and making campaign promises is over. Now, elected officials must get down to the business of working as part of a team and leading their community.
Greg Hinz on some new push-back against Sen. Rob Martwick’s elected school board bill…
In a letter to Senate President Don Harmon, House Speaker Chris Welch and leaders of the Latino and Black caucuses, groups including the Chicago Urban League and Latino Policy Forum stop short of endorsing a bill proposed by Lightfoot to elect only a few members of the board, allowing the mayor to continue to appoint most.
But the letters emphasize the importance of certain clauses that are in Lightfoot’s bill, but not the CTU’s. Included are steps to help undocumented immigrants have a voice, limits on campaign contributions and a requirement that any candidate have prior service on a Local School Council.
If the Illinois Senate cares about Chicago kids, they ll kill a terrible bill for an elected school board suntimes.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from suntimes.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
