Trustee starts with the word "Trust"

How do we know if the candidates running can be trusted?  What length will they go through to run a nasty election, just to get a low paying job?  How much humiliation will they put themselves through to run a dirty campaign, and have to face themselves in the mirror for years to come because of it?

Bonnie is running on the campaign promise of "staying out of the election madness".  The money is not a factor in her running and her issues and popularity are sure to trump other contenders.  She is viewed as the #1 potential candidate over all the others that are running.  Ultimately three of six people will be chosen to the Village Board of Trustees. 

So far, only a few people have picked up packets.  Of the few people that have picked up the packets, one has announced he will not be running, and the three current trustees have not picked up their packets to run this year.  That leaves 6 candidates running for three positions.  One or more of these candidates might not make it to the ballots.  That means this should be a clear cut election, right?

Not necessarily, as not all candidates are on the same page.  Not all candidates are off to running a fair election.  Mr. Cygan, for instance, has chosen to attack our media sites.  According to Bonnie, he has been looking into Bonnie's background and even the background of the companies she works for via Internet search sites.  Although we, or Bonnie have not done anything to him, he has started his campaign on a dirty foot, attacking others instead of the issues. We do not think this is the right approach and we feel that Mr. Cygan should just pick up the phone and call Bonnie to discuss his obvious personal issues against her.

The five other candidates have chosen to stay low and run a fair election.  It is alleged that  although three of them have decided to run independently, they have agreed to run fairly without flinging mud at each other, and to stick to the issues.  Two of them are running as a team, and have decided to join the other three with running a fair election.  Bonnie is one of the people on the "team" of two. 

Five of these candidates have decided that the Bolingbrook residents do not want, nor need to see, an ugly local election.  They are issuing this statement as a symbol of building trust, which our current administration lacks with the residents and the residents are so desperate to get.  We have yet to hear from Mr. Cygan and his current actions have spoken against this thus far. 

Let's see which one's make it through the ballot process.  Stay tuned ...
