| You're Next David! Hanks with former Governor Quinn in October, 2014 |
SAUK VILLAGE | Sometimes politicians take a shellacking on election night! Sometimes they learn to work with others who have differing opinions and ideas and compromise with those who were victorious on election night, even if they don't like them personally, even if they look different, and then there are others who simply just don't get it! Why do they do this? Self preservation perhaps, but for the most part it's because they haven't heard the people's voice or frankly they just don't give a damn!
.
In this last Tuesday's election, the voters of Sauk Village sent a clear and simple message to Mayor David Hanks. Voters reject your politics and your "Forward Motions"! They repudiated your supporters attacks! They're tired of the Bobble Heads, they're tired of his backward "Forward Motions" which have been stuck in the mud despite his 5 to 1 majority! Residents were tired of the lies, deception and constant photo ops, tired of the relentless attacks, tired of your Village Clerk taking a personal trip with her daughter on the dime of Village vendors and God only knows who! They're tired of having the Village's tax dollars go to pay for lawyers to defend their actions! Basically, they were just too damn tired of all the bullshiznit!
This election saw 804 voters who cared enough to come out to the polls, about 14% of the actual registered voters in Sauk Village. Hanks's nemesis the one who has not been a Bobble Head, Derrick Burgess won! Burgess won BIG receiving 61.7% of all the ballots cast, a clear majority! It doesn't take a political genius to see residents are tired of Hanks and yet Mayor Hanks publicly supported all 3 losing candidates in this election, while relentlessly attacking the day of the election Burgess, Cecial Tates and Kelvin Jones, calling them "negative". Hanks then continued on his destructive diatribe Saturday at his "Meet the Mayor" event, which was attended by only a handful of his most loyal supporters in what could only be describe as a "pitty party", you think Hanks would get it. Nope!
Many saw the contrast of Hanks and Williams's pitty party at Popeye's Chicken Tuesday night and then the continuation at Village Hall Saturday and the complete opposite where a group of residents who have worked hard over the last couple of years to bring a community together held a "Unity" meeting. The Unity meeting brought the newly elected officials together with a diverse group of residents, to help unite a community. Hanks and Williams have played the divide and conquer game for too long to the detriment of the Village!
Hanks and Williams must somehow believe that there are "special voters" out there that approve the nonsense they've been doing the last 29 months which clearly was not the case on Tuesday! Many of the people who voted for Hanks and Williams in 2013 were completely deceived by their mantra of "Forward Motions" and "Leadership for a Change". The last 29 months have been self evident that Forward Motions has been stuck in the mud, despite his 5 to 1 majority and Leadership has been absent!
Well as the old saying goes be careful what you wish for you might just get it, and get it you did in 2013! Well, the people of Sauk Village "got it" and got it RIGHT in 2015! It didn't take them long to get fed up with the negative tactics since Hank and Williams won in 2013. This election was a resounding defeat for Hanks and Williams and their brand of politics.
As I told many friend on election night, numbers never lie! The people of Sauk Village are tired of Hanks and Williams! Generally, low voter turnout is a good thing for the incumbent who is in office, that being Hanks and Williams, however, not a single one of Hanks and Williams's candidates won on Tuesday night. Such a resounding defeat has not happened since 1971!
Today, Hanks and Williams continue to fight against the majority of the residents of Sauk Village and sit on the dais with contempt, arrogance and entitlement that I have not seen since the days of former Mayor Lewis Towers. Oh but let's not forget who brought us Lewis Towers in the first place, Debbie Williams, the common denominator!
The people have spoken, and spoken clearly with their votes and lack of voter participation wasn't that they don't care, they want a New Direction! Unfortunately, Debbie Williams and David Hanks didn't seem to get the memo Tuesday night that they lost and are going to continue their destructive and divisive diatribes.
Well, I'm not going away! I had no plans to do so regardless of the outcome of this election! But make no mistake, this was a referendum on David Hanks and Debbie Williams's administration! Clearly Hanks and Williams received a shellacking, the same way Lewis Towers did in 2011! I will continue to fight with the Illinois Attorney General to expose Debbie Williams and her daughter Rosie Williams Travelgate Scandal from 2013, I will continue to attend meetings and reporting the facts! I will seek answers and question this administration, just like I did with Lewis Towers! This Village belongs to the People of Sauk Village! Hanks and Williams do not want to let go of the control of the millions of YOUR tax dollars they control! They can say that there "is no money" all they want, but when they sit and control the tax dollars and where they are spent, who the hell do they think they're kidding!
The people of Sauk Village have endured this experiment in the "big time Chicago style politics" but the people of Sauk Village aren't getting any results from this administration. The Hanks and Williams Administration has been an abject failure!
730 very short days to the End of Error! Election Day April 11, 2017!
