If you think that Riverside needs a change of direction and new ideas, then the Riverside Community Alliance slate of Mike Gorman for Village President and Jim Reynolds, Lonnie Sacchi and Mark Shevitz for Village Trustees is the right choice.
Look no further than today’s Landmark, where you’ll find an ad and a letter of support for our opponents, the Riverside Party/Caucus. Both the letter and the ad are signed by members of the current Village Board – the same board that voted unanimously to try and raise our property taxes. The same board who voted unanimously to play a fiscal shell game with our tax dollars and move $1 million from the general fund to the capital fund at the end of the 2007, to, in the words of the Riverside Landmark “force a debate on the village’s financial future.”
Of course the current Village Board endorses our opponents – both groups were selected to run by the same group of people – the Riverside Caucus. In fact, this year’s Caucus nominating committee was chaired by the wife the current Village President and advised by a current trustee.
On the other hand, the Riverside Community Alliance slate came together to run after years of standing up for residents against bad policies like the TIF and the property tax increase. We represent a clean break from one-party rule by Caucus-selected candidates and will bring some much-needed balance to a Village Board that is comprised entirely now of Caucus-selected trustees and a president.
So if you want a real change in the direction of the village – one for the better, with a Village Board who listens to residents and governs accordingly, we ask you to vote for Gorman, Reynolds, Sacchi and Shevitz – the Riverside Community Alliance.
