District 6 – Have a Cup o’ Joe
Oak Lawn Village Trustee candidate Joe Sorrentino offers a side-by-side comparison of himself and the other sixth district village board candidates.
By JOSEPH SORRENTINO I believe a trustee must be an effective communicator in addition to being the best qualified. Sometimes this includes presenting a simple summary to residents. The ability to work through a large volume of information and to organize and present clear and concise facts in an unbiased format is critical. This not only assists in educating residents on the issues; it also best prepares them to draw their own conclusions. Those conclusions then become the feedback to the trustee to effectively represent the voice of the people in the district. The Patch did an amazing job in gathering a large amount of pertinent information and I would encourage everyone to read all responses to each candidate question. However, in …

AND on what do you you base this accusation? If you have some personal knowledge of Carol orchestrating negative comments about Phelan's family then show the evidence. Did someone post comments about Phelan family members getting village jobs? Did someone post how his wife got a District 218 job after Tommy orchestrated the hiring Stillman's law firm? Tommy shouldn't engage in shady deals if he … more ›
Oak Lawn Trustee Dist. 6: Joseph Sorrentino
Joseph Sorrentino is running for his first term on the Oak Lawn Village Board.
Name: Joseph Sorrentino Position sought: Trustee District #6 Campaign contact information: Use as much space as you need: 1. What is the primary reason you are running for this office? Oak Lawn is a great place to live and raise a family. I love this community, believe I have made sincere contributions, have deep roots here and plan to continue long into the future. I am running for office because it is clear that our village government is broken and needs immediate attention. We are at a critical stage of unrest.

I have a proven track record of civil board …

OPEN LETTER: Oak Lawn Lifer Jumps Into Dist. 6 Trustee Race
Life-long Oak Lawn resident and mom of three Carol Ellis-Sheahan announces her candidacy for sixth district trustee for the Village of Oak Lawn.
By CAROL SHEAHAN I am writing my neighbors to announce that I am a candidate for Dist. 6 trustee for the Village of Oak Lawn. As a lifelong Oak Lawn-resident, I live one block from where I was raised. I attended Lawn Manor School, graduated from Atwood Heights School District 125, attended H.L. Richards High School and graduated from Northern Illinois University. I received the sacraments at St. Catherine of Alexandria. My three children attend Kolmar Avenue School. I have yet to serve in public office but I have served my community and church: I’m teaching my children to serve and to invest their time where they live. My husband, Jim, understood my desire to stay in this tight-knit neighborhood with excellent schools, wonderful …

So sick of District 6 being run by the "Catherine's crowd!" Nothing will change...no one in office cares about the school districts 125 and 126...it's all about St. Catherine's and district 123. Sad. more ›
