Liberty Principles PAC's $150,000 campaign ad investment in taking down longtime Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin paid off, as challenger businessman Keith Pekau won with 54 percent of the vote.

  1. The Skokie Caucus Party – which has been in power for 50 years – and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chicago Democrat machine – was unopposed this year.
    But apparently they had so much dough lying around in their party bankroll – that they took out scads of TV ads on cable TV. In them, they told everybody how great the Skokie Caucus Party is, and how wonderful Skokie is.
    They apparently did this, because the crime rate is rising wildly in magnificent, multicultural, Skokie – which is now replete with Section-8, low income housing.
    And perhaps, also,because there was a petition drive to challenge the lack of transparency of the liberal- Democrat Skokie Village government.
    They spent tens of thousands on TV ads in an uncontested election. So peculiar!
    The cynical might suggest that they did this to try and thwart the declining property values in their left-wing, multicultural, crime-ridden, suburban idyll.
