    Thanks Gpblight i will do that but im tired of Chicago until i leave im going to try to fight the good fight to better neighborhoods

  • gpblight 15 Yr East Garfield Resident

    Thanks for being willing to try digital tools. That is why they say in some neighborhoods the DIGITAL DIVIDE is still expanding.

    Spread the word to use the INTERNET, email, EB, Crimewatch, Dkstrict Homepage...anything that will get you out of the CAPS loop and the Alderman loop.

    Nobody can stay on top of it better than vigilant residents asking that union workers just plain do a good job in our neighborhood.

Lawndale Community Builder and Policy Analyst

Catch Dwayne Truss and Me on the Garfield Major Show on Mother's Day

Dwayne Truss and I will be guests on the Garfield Major Show on May 11, 2012. We will discuss a number of topics on the call-in show, including the impact changes to legislation surrounding school boundaries could have on North Lawndale and Austin Schools, and the impact the upcoming Cook County redistricting process could have on local residents of North Lawndale, Austin, East and West Garfield. The show goes from 10:00 pm to midnight on Sunday evenings, on AM-1450 (WRLL). You can stream live on http://wrll1450.com/english/personalities/index.html

    We also discussed the Cook County redistricting process. We provided background on how the Census is used to determine representation in Congress; develop political boundaries at the state and local levels and allocate funds for entitlement programs. We expressed our desire that the 2nd District be preserved as a West Side district, and include the boundaries for the 24th Ward and 9th Legislative District.

    Going to a CAP meeting doesn't make things go away. If you walk around the cornor from the ward office the things that are being described on Homan are on Lake Street. I was over on Washington with a group looking at the old hotel standing in the alley the neighbor next door came out to protect his property because of issues that are going on over there. What's happening on Lake street hasn't just started so why is it still going on around the cornor from the Alderman's office, I guess they can't clean up there own back yard. Well guy's the house doesn't look to good either my garage looks better then that office it needs a good spring cleaning , you guy's voted him in office, build up voters help register people, keep a tab on what and how he and others are voting know there record and then educate the people. If you find that your Alder-person is doing the things that are beneficial for you and yours as well as the community keep them if not vote them out I don't know about the rest of you but I can read I know how to research and I don't need the Alderman to enlighten me on what's on the City Web site or what's in the newspaper that's not what I elect officials to do. I expect them to do what is in the best interest of the people not what is in the best interest of the administration Alder people don't work for the Mayor they do work for the people and No it's not a partime JOB, one has to be aware on a full time base what they do, what they say, how they say it and who they say it to when you have people to concern yourselves with. Mine you no one is going to satisfy everyone but respect is something that all deserve, If you don't know that one thing not finding out is something all together different. Find out for yourself check there voting record.

    Press WAKE UP! Citizens need protection! 11th District Police are NOT PROTECTING US. A sweep of 9 drug dealers is MEANINGLESS in the scale of 80,000 gang members on the streets of Chicago. WE NEED HELP. We need the DOJ to come and figure out why we pay so much (40.1%) of the city budget and still can be killed or shot ANYWHERE in Chicago.

    COMSTAT figures are BOGTUS. Ask anyone living here.

    Just a week ago or so...under camera 398...camera repair guys were working on the camera...and someone was shot 5 times exactly under where they were working.

    That my friends...didn't even hit the news.

    What a JOKE that is...shooting under a police camera with camera workers on top. They say the rotation was away from the shooting. It was more likely the camera was disconnected while they were working on it.

    The area has several city workers living in it. Rumor says.....guess what????

    There is a gangasta wrapper video glorifying rap music and gangster behavior on the intersection. Ther eis a facebook page with 577 friends. What does this mean??? FLASH MOBS show up regularly and NO POLICE COME when 911 is called.

    DOJ come and save us! We need the Army, Navy, Airforce...National Guard....NATO representatives...ANYBODY to stop the senseless slaughter on the streets of Chicago.

    We can't even get the grass cut on city lots this summer (some areas are 4-5' tall now...but we got $$ for plastic face guards for police horses.

    YEP it is a looney bin here.
