There has always been doubletalk but this I think, is tripletalk. Which one is it? Palos Heights, Lincoln Park or Bridgeport?

that's his story and he's sticking to it

At some time prior, Vallas moved out of Palos Heights. Then, Vallas moved from Lincoln Park to Bridgeport in January 2022, using that address to register to vote in March 2022 and to form a new campaign committee, Vallas For Mayor, with the Illinois State Board of Elections in April 2022. Vallas moved to the second floor of a Bridgeport apartment building because it was more convenient for his “work and family,” his campaign spokesperson said.

Between mid-2017 and January 2022, including when Vallas ran for Chicago mayor in 2019, he lived in a Lincoln Park apartment he rented from Tressa Pankovits, an employee and campaign volunteer. Pankovits, who initially answered a request for comment from WTTW News and promised to call back, did not answer subsequent calls and messages.

However, when Vallas contributed $250 to Democrat Alexi Giannoulias’ successful campaign for secretary of state in September, Vallas listed his address as his Palos Heights home, according to records filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections. A spokesperson for Vallas said that was an error and would be corrected.

At the very least, this fact pattern suggest that Vallas needs to be more candid about his past and his future plans, if elected.  At the same time, I wonder what other questions are out there.

    I bet he moves into one of the few remaining row houses on Chicago Ave. in What's left of Cabrini Green.
