Her knowledge of the issues before the Legislature, her experience and her forthrightness make her vastly superior to her challenger, 21-year-old Frank Calabrese, a University of Illinois student. Calabrese has been unable to offer a good reason for voters to choose him, other than he's not a Democrat.

Calabrese has been unable to offer a good reason for voters to choose him, other than he's not a Democrat.
He won't vote for Madigan as Speaker - that ought to be worth quite a bit these days.
So again we are left without a reasonable choice. Again, local partisan politics lets the public down. What an completely unintelligent way to run local elections.
As a member of the State University Retirement System I will never, never vote for Jakobsson. I don't know anything about Calabrese - but I know he's never sold out my pension to curry favor in Springfield.
I rate it at about 100 calabreses.
