Important voting information from the City of Wheaton http://www.wheaton.il.us/government/detail.aspx?id=1108
And, I fully and unquestionably support the re-election of Councilman Suess. He has served the city well and deserves another elected term. Thanks, Phil, for your past and current service to OUR community and for your desire to continue serving.

What has Suess done to warrant another term? Attempted to tear down the DWA? Voted against those evil rich people at Court House Square? Screamed at Derrik Bromstead like a mad man over his property title to his business? Allowed water rates to increase while serving on the Water Commission? Allowed the streets and sidewalks in the North District to be the worst in the City? He is just a clone of Jeanne Ives and Mark Stern. Time for someone new!!!

I agree with Debbie. I had posed a question to him once and got the political run around!
