(Cook County ballot sample)
Voters will have the opportunity to select up to 3 candidates for the Barrington Area Library Board of Trustees (BAL). We recommend they vote for 2 candidates, Joe Bosnick and Erin Matta.
Joe Bosnick has lived in Barrington for ten years, building a deep connection to our community, shaped by his service in the Marine Corps. Joe actively participates in local life, including cheering on his two daughters at St. Ann’s Catholic School and enjoying the vast resources offered by the Barrington Library.
Joe is an advocate of the BAL, recognizing the value of its resources, meeting spaces, and events, including utilizing the library as a venue for community veteran meetings. Joe served as an Executive Officer in the Marines, giving him strong people skills, the ability to collaborate on a board, and an understanding of fiscal stewardship. We endorse him for the BAL Board.
Erin Matta has lived in Barrington since 2012 and has three children in the Barrington schools. She holds degrees in psychology and human development and has a keen interest in fitness and helping clients achieve their wellness goals. Erin has had a lifelong love for the library and has passed this passion on to her children.
As a small business owner, she understands the need to be a good steward of the taxpayer’s investment in the library. As a mother and community member, she understands the need to develop and approve library policy that serves the Barrington community. We endorse her for the BAL Board.
It seems odd that there are only two endorsements but three people need to be elected. How do the endorsed two differ from the unendorsed three?
The remaining three candidates are all far-left activists, making them virtually indistinguishable from one another in their views and agendas.
What library policies do “far left activists “ advocate for our library? I am not a fan of labels or pejoratives. Where do those you do not endorse differ from those whom you do endorse? I find it suspicious that those of the public who wish to comment must identify them but you do not. Why is that?
I find it suspicious that you have decided to engage on a blog that hasn’t seen your name for years as though you’re suddenly interested. Did his highness JBP send you to defend his far left agenda in what’s supposed to be a non-partisan election, despite the deep pockets of the Dems sending out mass flyers on the eve of election in conjunction with the BEA teachers union?
