who here is from dupage county? want to talk about the county board.

so, my sister has been asked to run for county board. dupage dems want to field one good candidate in each of the 6 districts. (there is one dem now)
she is still mulling, but of course i will be right there w her.

would like to ask folks from dupage to tell me what issues there are w the county board?
the board is mostly about zoning and water issues.
does anyone have an example of a better policy than the current status quo?

He lives there, and is involved in area politics. I think he knows the Democrat on the county board.
