Yes, most of us are fully focused on the upcoming U.S. presidential race. It’s a big deal. But as the Journal’s Luzane Draughon reports today, Oak Park is going to have a competitive race for village president next year. Also a big deal.
Vicki Scaman has announced her intention to run for re-election as village president. And Ravi Parakkat, a current village trustee, will also be running for the top spot. There is still time for others to join this race before the late fall filing deadline.
A competition of ideas and approaches to governing is always welcome.
