Observations on Forest Park politics and judiciary impact
Claude A Walker notes looming village elections next March and April amid a vacant commission seat. He discusses potential council action, mayoral tenure, and fears of deadlock. He reports Proviso Regular Republican endorsement of Howard Mohr for State Senate and Marshall Quandt for Township Committeeman, plus J.P. and police magistrate reform shifts. He cites 1965 village fines totaling $52,223 with December at $5,462.60, arguing reform has boosted revenue and public services while provoking resistance from former “fixer” officials.
