This week we will be finding out the names of many of the people running for local office. We ask that our readers hold off on asking us to recommend a candidate until we can fully investigate each candidates. In the next four weeks, the possible trustees will be having their attorneys review their nomination petitions, filing in Will County and locally for office. After that four week time, we will disclose the names of all the candidates, and will closely follow the objections. We will also be FOIAing the Non-Disclosures and conflict of interest, and reporting on these. We will follow their progress up until April 5th.
We will be sending the candidates questionnaires in January with the top questions submitted to our site. All the questionnaires will be the same for each candidate and we will post the results of the questions by Feb.
We will also be following the sign issues in Bolingbrook, staffing some of our workers on sign watch during this election. If there are people looking to illegally remove signs this year, we are determined to catch them and report them. We are hoping for a more fair election process for the candidates.
According to a statement from the Will County Independent Party Chair, "They will be doing what they can to assist local candidates to stay on the ballot for local "Independent" candidates." Therefore, we will allow this to play out and let the political organizations handle this issue.
Stay tuned as the local election season kicks off!
