Defeat Lali Watt in Wilmette

I guess last time I was too quietly sarcastic, so I'll be blunt. Defeat Lali Watt for Wilmette village trustee. She pushed the village to spend millions on a bond issue for a now failed real estate project which was entirely predictable--all in aid of "affordable" housing and senior housing. What good is a bankrupt development?

She knew developers were going to cut beautiful old trees down, trees which graciously lined the street for an entire block--for a parking lot. The trees were cut down, and then she remarked in an interview (this is my recollection), "they weren't supposed to cut them down all at once".

She told Catholic voters before the referendum on the project that some sacred areas would be saved--they were torn down and sold off.

And for this travesty Lali Watt received an award from Todd Stroger's corrupt and profligate Cook County Commission.

Filing is still open
until Monday at 5.
