I am wondering when the Mayor's Budget Task Force will be inserted into the current budget process? If, as I suspect, they are focused on a longer-term outlook for the City of Evanston, I hope that there will be some assurance that our short-term decisions are in alignment with any forward looking recommendations.  
 
It would certainly be nice to have some communication regarding their progress and intentions. 

There are 758 tax exempt, non-profit organizations within the City of Evanston that, collectively, have over $14 billion dollars in total assets.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your support and encouragement throughout this past local election.

Reprint from April, 2009 Edition

Reprinted below is a letter I received this week from Gene Frett and Virginia Mann. Both Gene and Virginia have been deeply involved in our community and take great care in making decisions about supporting elected officials. I hope you will take the opportunity to send along their note to those who may still be undecided about their choice for our next 6th Ward Alderman.

Our Campaign Journal is meant to provide a quick and easy way for you to stay connected in the month prior to our Consolidated Election on April 7^th. We also will be using these updates to solicit your opinions and ideas on emerging issues of importance so that I can best reflect your views during the many conversations I am having with voters and other candidates. I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Yesterday, Aldermanic candidates within the City of Evanston participated in the League of Women Voters’ forum held at our Civic Center. The 6^th Ward candidates continue to offer a model of civility that we hope transfers throughout the City and to the new Council. While many of our views are in alignment and reflective of the majority opinions of our constituents, there are important distinctions among the candidates in terms of approach to service.
