We all take very seriously the news of alleged efforts to transform the board of trustees at College of DuPage into a puppet board. Candidacies of some who have chosen to run for the April election have been challenged in an effort, perhaps, to block the democratic process, and it is thought, to stack the board . Let's speak out.

Please attend the Electoral Board hearings to determine fitness of candidate petitions for Trustee races.

Challenges aplenty to candidates in DuPage County

ISSUES IN BRIEF:

a.. Current COD Board Member Kory Atkinson filed challenges to petitions of almost all of the candidates of the opposition party.
b.. Objections will be heard by TWO electoral boards, one for each term of office, each headed by an incumbent running for the other term.
c.. The election code provides for an electoral board and clearly excludes anyone running for office from being on the electoral board, therefore the composition of the boards are unfair.

d.. Two incumbents are running for re-election and they have recruited other candidates to run for the other two vacancies in order to keep control of the board that is not working in the best interests of the community.
e.. The candidates (and objectors other than Kory Atkinson) have not received official notice of the hearings in a timely manner and some none at all.
f.. We need a public show of force to reject these tactics so WE NEED YOU TO BE THERE AND TO CALL OTHERS YOU KNOW TONIGHT TO BE THERE AS WELL. PLEASE.
