The Illinois Supreme Court just denied the Village of Oak Lawn’s last appeals (against the fire department union) on both the Labor Board ruling on minimum manning and the Kravitz grievance award. Once again the village wasting the resident’s money fighting ridiculous battles against its employees. Print that, please educate these poor residents on how their money is being wasted by their politicians.

Hi lorraine!
Can you find out what's going on with the release of the Exec. Meeting tapes? When will they be released?
Could you also get a copy of the "handwriting experts" report from the referendum fiasco? The "experts" that the trustees hired, and what were their fees?
Thanx Lorraine

I just wanted to leave an update with the wonderful happenings @ the Craft Show Store. I can not believe the out poor of kindness your readers have !!!! Mr and Mrs. Harry Kampenga of Oak Lawn have donated their garage to house all of the items we've collected. I thought we'd get maybe a few boxes / bags full of items. We have almost filled their garage and this evening we will be storing items in their basement. We recieved a 150 of pounds of dog food today. I am at a loss for words and a knot in my throat when I look at how wonderful and caring people are. !!!! I just wanted to Thank you for posting this . Thank You All For your kindness. HUGS to everyone. AGAIN Thank You Leigh Ann

The Craft Show Store @ 5370 west 95th Street is taking donations for the Joplin Victims until June 20th. Childrens Toys, Clothing and Shoes. These items do not need to be new. If someone is having a garage sale and have any Children items left over The Craft Show Store can swing by and pick up any items you'd like to donate. Thank You
