Today this blog is doing something we've never done before: we're endorsing a candidate for political office. Specifically, we're urging our community to vote for Pat Quinn for Governor. We're very concerned about Bruce Rauner's views on unions, tenure, and the minimum wage. We think Bruce Rauner would be WRONG for our district, and wrong for the state of Illinois.
Vote for Pat Quinn for Governor!

Hate to tell you this, but my folks never sold to the school district. If you took a minute to drive by, you would see that theirs is the only house left standing... It was the Malachers who were on the school board that made off like bandits, and everyone else was low balled. My folks decided to stand up to the district (which both me and my brothers attended, my folks were in the PTA and my mom subbed for for 20 years) and refused to sell. So your whole thinking here is pretty flawed....
Sincerely,
Michael Russell
Ps, just wish I would have seen this earlier to respond when people were still paying attention to this post...
Setting it straight, "sweetheart" said...
From what I understand it wasn't John Russell but Larry Malaker (School Board president in 2004) who got a sweetheart deal on his house. He also got to salvage some of the house's valuable items like art glass windows (a privilege not extended to others who sold their houses to the district).
John Russell still lives in his house. His "sweetheart deal" with the district was to be able to stay in his house when others were forced to sell to make room for the fieldhouse.
