who is dumb enough to vote to raise taxes in these tough economic times. hello. has the alderman seen how much gas cost near $4.00/gallon. don't matter alderman make over $100000/year.
only alderman to vote aganist the new police chief? who cares. how about voting aganist the mayor when it really counts like when he is raising taxes and fees. i agree. she is really dumb.
after that tax increase i'll never vote for her again.
she sure is a tool of daley. voting for a tax increase and his budget but only alderman to vote aganist the new police chief. who she trying to fool?
raise taxes. has anybody seen the 3rd ward lately. we should be gettin a tax decrease. we just paying more money for them whitefolks up on the northside.
What about the park on 47th street. 2 million dollars dug up because she got a thing against Dorothy. She stopped the festival and is going to try to stop the parade too.
raise taxes??? what a retard. what a mistake i made voting for her. can u say 1 term.

Wow, what a classy way to talk about "issues". Have a site where you claim that you lost your house due to tax increases but really just try to thow out hateful accusations about the alderman's sexuality. This whole site is shameful. Thank goodness such a hateful, negative person as Dorothy Tillman is no longer an alderman.
Vote Pat Dowell for Committeman to clean up the 3rd Ward. Help clean this ward of the trash that is responsible for this blog. This way we can move on and stop holding the rest of society back.
Actually it isn't Dorothy Tillman but Rep. Dunkin that is behind this site. Rather horrible to make up a homeless person who lost their house, as if anyone wouldn't see through that lie right away.
i agree parts of the blog are dumb but also informative. raising taxes in tough economic times is not right especially when their is so much waste and stealing in government. i did'nt know alderman make over $100000 a year or harold washington returned 20% of his salary.
For all of you that got your feelings hurt, suck it up.
Rep. Dunkin,
We are not interested in sucking it up, nor in voting for you. No thank you.
Who the heck is rep dunkin? Your daddy?
Yes, Thank me.
alderman pat dowell makes one hundred thousand dollars a year and she raised taxes. i guess she needs a raise.
this site is ignorant but funny as hell. i cant stop laughing. genius. is that u dave chapelle? MY MAN. HAROLD WASHINGTON.
Kenneth Dunkin, Dowell's opponent for 3rd ward committeeman voted against the property tax releif act of 2006. If lower property taxes are important to your decision for 3rd ward committeeman, then neither of these candidates is someone that you can support.
informative and funny. but the real joke is on the people of chicago. deal with waste and corruption before raising taxes.
People need to stop assuming Dorothy has anything negative to do with this ward now. This ward failed her and If I were her Id take my hard work, great ideas, and change to any area that appreciates. And by the way ANy new building you see going up now, were the vision of Tillman. Pats yet to do a single thing except plant trees down 45 th street to kiss up to the Clintons when they were here this last summer.
donuts?
We miss Tillman in the 3rd Ward. There was nothing hateful about her or her campaign. It was Dowell that flooded or mailboxes with all the negative election fliers. Now Dunkin is doing the same to her. We have never had so much trash as these last 2 elections. The shame....And I agree it wad stupid to dig up that park after we spent 2 millions dollars on it. I miss the festival and she better not stop the parade!!!
can u post link to who was aganist the property tax relief act of 2006. i aint voting for no one who is raising taxes especially an alderman who makes over $100000/year.that is straight up SCANDOOLESS. do what harold did and cut ur check before u raise taxes.
negative campaigning is bad. her 4 negative mailers about housekeepers were not convincing at all. i'm no fan of her opponent but that plunger on his head while he was in the toliet was way out of line. why not put a noose on his neck and hang him from a tree.
thank you to all. this has been very interesting.
i gotta say this shit is funny as hell.
that homless guy is cool
The jokes on the people in the 3rd ward who thought they were getting an independant alderman. The ward is being run from the 5th floor. The new alderman Pat Dowell voted YEA to every single thing the mayor asked. We thought she would be more progressive like Preckwinkle. The mayor needed a alley and now he has her. Talk about waste. The 1.9 million Park on 47th and King Drive that has been PAID for is now going to be dug up so Pat Dowell's white developers can get a piece of it. They didn't like Tillman's 70/30 plan or the Blues District that was to include majority African American workers and culture...Well to my neighbors, You Order It, You Eat It...I am hoping that St. Rep Ken Dunkin win committeman a then got after her for the alderman seat...He has my vote...
Dunkin for 3rd Ward Alderman!!!
Tillman has a great program on WVON Saturday Mornings. Glad to hear her voice. We miss her downtown.
Tim Dunkin, your better off not putting your bulk post office permit number on your maillers. I think that your the real tool.
This has got to be the dumbest, slanderous, and worst-designed sites I've ever seen...and there's a lot of competition out there.
Chicago Politics at it's finest.
