19th Ward continues without Republican leadership.


ELECTED BUT NOT SEATED
In the spring of 2016, a local multimillionaire realtor named Steve Graves, ran for and was elected to the post of 19th Ward Republican Committeeman. Upon going to get sworn in, he was told by the Republican party that he would not be seated because "he was in reality a democrat". He immediately filed suit and the case, which many consider a slam dunk, mysteriously continues to this day without any signs of a resolution. Graves, an astute businessman, with a winter home in S. California, was unavailable when calls were placed to his office yesterday.

    Will he still be wintering in California if the lawsuit gets resolved. This sounds like the guy who used to be mayor of Crestwood. Chester what's his name?

    regarding residency,
    Major Democratic-dominated cities need to import yet more immigrant residents to replace the Americans fleeing from those cities’ crowded, crime-prone and expensive districts, according to a Bloomberg article.
    The government imports 1 million new legal immigrants per year, even as 4 million young Americans turn 18, but according to Bloomberg:

    Immigration to the U.S. has failed to make up for the number of residents leaving New York, Los Angeles and Chicago — the nation’s top three metropolitan areas.

    Chicago — beset by crime, economic and budgetary woes and high taxes — is the net exodus leader among 100 metro areas tracked by Bloomberg using Census Bureau data for the year through July 1, 2016. An average 245 local residents left the Windy City each day compared with the arrival of 71 foreigners. Census doesn’t inquire about a person’s citizenship status…

    For the nation’s third most-populous metropolitan area, foreign immigration “is the only offset we’ve got and it would be tragic to lose,” said Diane Swonk, chief executive and founder of DS Economics in Chicago.

    I wouldn't mind it so much if Dart moved to California, and stayed there full time. If he could come to terms with that dead squirrel he wears on his head, he could hang around with Jerry Brown, the California squirrel.

    This is not good. Graves led the ward to a major Trump victory. There is no doubt he is a republican and a good republican too. I hope this works out for him.

      The fact that the Republican Party doesn't want to seat him shows clearly that there in fact IS doubt that he is sincere. And he did nothing to sway the voters in our Ward. I received nothing from him. He never came to my door and I am a registered Republican. If he didn't contact me he didn't try very hard.

    The post of 19th Ward Republican Committeeman can't be that big of a deal if Gino Naughton ran for it back in 1988.

    Too many people in the 19th ward owe their jobs to Democrats.

    The Republicans are pretty convinced that he is a fake Republican. The Democrats control so much that they have in many cases in the past, ran people for Republican positions to control the whole Monopoly Board. The guy did NOTHING to help Trump win so many votes in our Ward. He was non existent. That is just BS. What I do think helped Trump in this Ward was the vicious, poisonous snake Black Lives Matter movement that descended on our Ward with anger, hate and tried to bully us. Many people connected the dots between these crazy eyed violent radical scum and we realized that they were the children born of a Democratic Party that has lost it's mind - and basically craps on the values of our area - God, tradition, law and order etc...and we saw the cowering a** kissing pandering by our local elected officials (Democrats)to these worthless, violent mob.
