As fun and intriguing as it is to speculate about political “what ifs,” let’s focus a bit on a couple of contested primary elections soon to be facing voters of the 49th Ward. For starters, let’s draw our attention to the contested race (actually races), for the position of (drum roll please) ….... 49th Ward Committeeman. Drum roll? Most of us know little about the race of Committeeman. Do we care? Perhaps I read too many Mike Royko articles back during his hey day, but thoughts of a Chicago Committeeman conjure in my mind images of smoke filled rooms, deal making and political patronage. Is this still true? Continue reading hereSpotlight - Alpha Adjusting

2012 Adopt the Public Way Garden Grant - APPLICATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED
Under the cover of today's snow are summer's plants, getting ready to send up their pale shoots. Gardeners like to think about such things and dream of spreading flowers and shrubs in every parkway, traffic circle and park. If this is you, the Rogers Park Garden Group (RPGG) wants to help. Grants of up to $500 for plant material, soil amendments, and mulch are available to anyone who is creating, restoring, or enhancing a garden located in the public way. The grants program is called, "Adopt the Public Way." Anyone is eligible, but the garden must be in Rogers Park, east of Ridge and north of Devon. Grants are also available for anyone running a youth program that wants to add gardening to the activities; and for the youth projects, the gardens don't have to be in the public way.

Alderman Moore’s Statement on the Proposed Parade and Public Assembly Ordinance
By Charlie on January 19, 2012
Remarks of Alderman Joe Moore
Regarding the Parade and Public Assembly Ordinance
January 17, 2012
The right to protest and petition our government for a redress of grievances is the foundation of our democracy and our most cherished freedom. I can think of no neighborhood in our nation where that freedom is more treasured, and practiced more frequently, than the 49th Ward of Chicago. That is why the proposal to increase the fines for resisting arrest and the proposed changes to the City of Chicago's parade and public assembly ordinances are of such concern to me and many of my 49th Ward constituents.
