Yesterday was a very political day. From 10 – 12 was the Democratic Party’s candidate meet-and-greet. The room was pretty packed; that photo I took is near the end of the event, as people were heading out, many of them going on to the League of Women Voters’ annual State of the Villages luncheon, which was supposed to be 12 – 2, but ended up running ’til 3.
A lovely event, and honestly, I would’ve gladly stayed and listening to the three village representatives (from Forest Park, River Forest, and Oak Park) talk longer — who knew that TIF districting would be such a fascinating (and contentious) topic?
