Come on they did one thing...They got the Village Sign moved to the middle of the 59 (south of 111th) instead of on the side of the of the road...Priorities around here...Wow

Which violates their own ordinance and Illinois Department of Transportation rules of placing signs in the parkways and medians. But any candidate or anyone else that were to put a sign in a location like that will be uprooted by code enforcement or the community service police officers.

One incumbent will be reelected to the village board. Out of the options, Mr. Racich is probably the best choice. While I may disagree with his choices sometimes, he at least takes his elected job seriously. The same can not be said for Margie Bonuchi and Garret Peck.

Garrett has a track record of not bothering to show up for village meetings(or just not even bothering to vote when he is there), and Margie will threaten to sue you if you express your displeasure at her inability to effectively hold 2 publicly funded positions. Neither of them have demonstrated the professionalism that the position demands.

Hey we have a new police building/station, a beautiful ediface sufficient for at least a 350 person department. In about 100 years we will have sufficient numbers to actually provide for those numbers. When I compare the new station to those of other police agencies around the country with much MUCH larger numbers of personel, there is no wonder why Plainfield residents are paying through the nose with their taxes and there is not end in sight!

Brandon, anything is better than the majority of current Village Board. Some of the current board has even threatened to sue some of the posters on here for libel. Pretty sad that threats like this are being thrown out at posters on the patch. If it's getting too hot in the kitchen for them to take the pressure of public service, maybe they need to move on. I'm still curious to know what the incumbents have accomplished as a Village Board member. If you ran, we could've even held burger fundraisers but if you run for Village Board it'll have to actually be in Plainfield.

If your name doesn't have 'incumbent' next to it, you would stand a pretty good chance.

You're right Tim. We can only vote and it's time for some changes to happen on this Board. Hopefully, the new candidates will make a better effort and offer better representation than the 'incumbents'.

Ron/Tim,

When you knowingly post damaging lies about individuals who have a vested in the community , you subject yourself to legal liabilities. I can't wait to see you in court my friend :O) The scales of justice will prevail.

Anna, Mr. Hebert and Mr. Barnes are the incumbents on the fire board. I am glad to see two others are also running for the fire board. Hopefully the taxpayers will take a closer look at the fire distrcit budget and the way they spend our money. It is time for some new faces on the fire board, and hopefully the voters/taxpayers will educate themselves before election day.

That is about the funniest thing I have heard all year!

Just wait until allegations of extortion, bullying, and threats in attempts to get contracts for his architectural firm arise.

Wonder if everyone knows how Mikey tried to shut down Plainfield fest by calling the state fire marshall?? He sounds like someone who wants to promote Plainfield, I mean his business!!!!

This is going to be a fun election!

Brandon, what happened to your candidate for Mayor? Did he not follow the law and fill out his paperwork correctly? Maybe he should do what the other candidates all did and get extra signatures in case some of the people who sign are not registered voters... Also I heard you were going to run for Village Trustee? What public statements do you plan to make about your recent speeding ticket? Have you pled guilty? What kind of a role model breaks the law and wnats to run for Village Trustee? Yiu are about as hippocritical as Lambert. You simply cannot follow the law, yet you want to be elected to office. Shame on you!
