Over the past several weeks, going back to our pre-election issue at the end of October, I’ve been urging the residents of Glenview to take a more active role in their local governments. First, I told you to get and vote for candidates running for the Illinois governor’s office, legislative offices in Springfield and the U.S. House of Representatives. Last week, I tried to encourage all residents in the village who get The Glenview Lantern to embrace the early start of the next election cycle after Citizens for Glenview, a nonpartisan residents’ group, threw its weight behind three candidates for the Glenview Village Board at the start of the month. As promised in my previous editorial, other local organizations are beginning to follow suit, announcing the slate of candidates they will be supporting over the next few months. Since the Dec. 6 edition of The Lantern, the District 34 Caucus announced it will be supporting four candidates to win a seat on the Glenview School District 34 Board of Education in the upcoming April municipal elections. (Turn to Page 11 to read the full announcement and learn about the candidates.) This week, let me use this space to implore The Lantern’s readers to get involved in their local governments beyond learning about the candidates and voting. Several times this month while editing stories to publish and post online at GlenviewLantern.com, I have read about local boards holding public hearings to give residents and constituents an opportunity to provide input and voice their concerns about their spending plans for the upcoming year. Somewhat worryingly to me, at each instance, not a single resident or constituent showed up to these public hearings. While that could mean that every person affected by these budgets is 100 percent satisfied with how they are written, my instincts tell me that’s very far from the truth. In the last few weeks of the year, many Glenview boards will be finalizing their budgets and tax levies, setting the price you will pay next year to keep these organizations running. I strongly, strongly encourage you to be there when they do. If not, you’ll have to wait another year to speak your peace.
