Regarding those links at the end of this item: thousands of words, so much drama, and not a darn real issue addressed. Here's to hoping all the candidates for all the offices produce literature, interviews and (I would guess) debates that speak to the issues we face today, rather than simply blow bugles about their parish affiliations and such. Oh.....and here's to hoping that people get out there and vote! The turnout has been pretty pee-poor in the last few elections.

Lorraine, Jane Quinlan is communicating with the press before the dealdine today? Wonder how much communicating will take place from her office when early voters show up?

Get a life

How did she do it last time?? Get a life

I was on earlier and saw a couple of other posts that are now missing. Why? Are the sensorship police on duty? If so there are quite a few offensive posts from certain individuals, on Patch that always seem to be overlooked, as far as I can tell. Selective sensorship...HMMM

Bill, here's a quarter call someone who cares...

Lorraine always takes down anything that may hurt/upset her buddies...that rat pack you mentioned. And Andy can say or do as he pleases. Yep very transparent.

I have not removed any comments. And if people are going to accuse me of censorship, please learn how to spell it.

Lorraine is showing just how PROFESSIONAL she is. Take note and apply towards her articles. What this shows is that she cannot and is not working in unbiased third party mode as a jouurnalist should. She does not have the ability to seperate her personal feelings from any story. This comment will be gone soon I am pretty sure.

I am not an elected official like some of the unknown bloggers ( I believe ) on this site. Being involved in politics means you are going to get criticism, that is part of the job.. Bullying reporters is not part of the job. If you don't like news being reported that you think is wrong or biased,stop doing it. It is the same excuses we did something wrong, but blame everyone else for catching us.

I wish there was censorship or bias involved here, that would mean that none of this is really happening. It's all too true, and both sides of the Board have brought it all on themselves.

The truth is Jane Quinlan may be polite, but she does cheat when she whispers to voters coming into her office who they may want to vote for. She usually starts with the line "I know I really shouldn't do this BUT ....... " Proof from former assistants. This election she will not use her office to bus voters in. Sorry to say, she lacks character and worries only about her reputation.

Andy just keeps "helping" make my point. He's so helpful. :)

Why don' t you help your buddy Bob stay out of jail instead of worrying about what is
on these posts. It would be a lot more beneficial to the mayor and his candidates, they are going to need it :)

Poor Andy he is really stressing this election. He is truly losing focus and just wildly tossing allegations and rants. Oh wait...that's normal. My bad.

i'm not stressing smooch ( good name ) I'm not running for anything.. The FBI isn't investigating me,I'm not in a tough mayoral race, I didn't get involved in bid rigging for a family member, I didn't try to involve a business partner in a village development.Your guys are the ones stressing out. If you weren't why would you even care what I have to say anyways?? This is my favorite time of year because you have the chance to elect a different vision for Oak Lawn and all those high and mighty politicos are scared out of their minds worrying they may be out of a job come April..

Andy I love that you assume I am Bob. Nope. Not even correct on the gender. Smmmmmmmmoooooccchh. But then you are such a brillant mind I understand you are so easily confused.

Whoever said I thought you were Bob?? He is too busy getting a lawyer for all his legal troubles..

We should have an election poll and the people who get the most winners right win the pizza of their choice.
