The Barrington Hills elections are just three weeks away, but there is still time to request applications to vote by mail (formerly known as absentee voting) for those who are away at school, spend their winters elsewhere or cannot take advantage of early voting. Those wishing to request a ballot can click on the name of any of the four counties listed below and be linked directly to the steps for voting by mail:
In-person early voting begins Monday, March 23rd. We’ll publish information on where to vote early shortly before that date as a reminder.
While the candidates continue shadow box for the most part outside of public view, please do not be deceived, the election on April 7th for VBH is of most importance. It will determine whether VBH government will continue in the bullying style of Abboud or take the form of enlightened McLaughlin.
If you like corruption, waste and mismanagement of taxpayer resources of recent past when “Save 5 Acres” political team hijacked VBH government through use of scare tactics, false choices and character assassination of reputation of good neighbors with opposing views by all means vote for SOS Meroni, Selman and the other one.
If you are like me and desire the VBH of “old” where VBH government will be entirely transparent, fiscally sound where proper management of the tax treasure is of greatest priority, then it is time to join the “Marty Party” of Cecola, Maison and Croll. 3 new candidates who have not fallen under the spell of Abboud but instead are motiviated by doing public good.
With the “Marty Party”, the only time residents will have to rally “en masse” to face VBH government will be at the annual “Hills Are Alive Fest”!
It is time for BH to become a desirable place to live again. It’s time to elect leaders who care about our community and our values of ethics, transparency and respect for all. It’s time for we voters to get some reasonable leaders with whom Marty and Colleen can work to the benefit of all residents. It’s more than time to leave behind the lies, the back room dirty deals, the nasty language, the disrespect, the divisions and the falling real estate values. It’s time for Brian, Michelle and Bryan to bring the solid fiscally responsible and civil majority back to Barrington Hills. It’s more than time. Please vote One Barrington Hills straight ticket.
