For far too long Oak Park has been governed by trustees of a political persuasion where they at times abuse their position trying to interject their leftist beliefs into village policies. This goes beyond their purview and what their focus should be as a trustee of a local community to protect and provide efficient services for their constituents. Providing police and fire protection. Upholding zoning laws and building ordinances. Good sanitation and water. Maintaining street and parkway infrastructure. And similar. None of the candidates are perfect, but I would vote for Parakkat, Taglia and Vanderberg.
