Tinley Park mayor: Term-limits issue won’t ‘fall between the cracks’ - Southtown Star

The mayor of TP is full of it. The last thing he wants is a term limit. He wants to be king for life. The vote is a good start.

I have literally been so busy that I have not had an opportunity to post here at all. I want to talk about Obama's decisive victory and the Republican party's devastating defeat.

Nevertheless, this issue is one of the more important ones as far as I am concerned. But there are two other issues that I think would have more far-reaching impact on reforming politics than anything:

1) Open primaries (not semi-open or semi-closed primaries); and

2) Redistricting or gerrymandering (no more fiefdoms of agreement).

Term limits is an important issue. But I think a more effective approach to accomplish the same goal includes a fully open primary for third-party candidates.

Redistricting has created these snake-like fiefdoms in which we have the illusion of choice. Only on occasion will a truly competitive race exists.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
