Since the people of River Forest have spoken and voted for term limits of elected officials, one would think the village board would move to ratify the vote. Or perhaps going on three months isn’t enough time? After all, it would probably take all of five minutes to do so.
Ironic that, coming up on Independence Day when the colonies made it very clear to Great Britain that they would no longer chafe under the boot heels of a foreign power and created the notion of a modern democracy, a tiny little village by comparison would feel free to flout the will of the people.
Vote? Why bother?
How many opportunities has the River Forest Village Board had to ratify the vote? Doesn’t matter, really — one should be enough.
Stop sitting on your hands, Board, and do your job.
