Murer says poll shows closing gap with O'Brien in 4th district
Murer Consultants released a poll showing Michael Murer narrowing the gap with incumbent U.S. Rep. George O'Brien in Illinois Fourth District races. Murer claims leads in Joliet and most Cook County areas except Will County, while O'Brien cites low name recognition in Cook County. Both campaigns project a tight race as unemployment and interest rates dominate voters concerns.

Plans for industrial sewer extension fail in Frankfort
Irv Korngoot, former Frankfort Chamber of Commerce president, told the village board the industrial sewer project is down the drain after 12 of 41 area landowners refuse to fund their share. With 29 remaining, several were uncertain, and the required over 9000 per landowner was deemed unfair to developed parcels. Plans may be revisited when the economy improves.

Fire board revokes Giordano 30 day suspension
Frankfort fire protection district trustees overturned a 30 day suspension of Sam Giordano Jr an eight year veteran after a public hearing Tuesday night. The action stemmed from a September 5 phone conversation with Asst. Chief Tom Norkus about whether to deploy a standby emergency unit at Station 1 during the fall festival weekend. Giordano contended the exchange and advice from Frankfort Square firefighters warranted a second opinion. The decision to revoke the suspension followed testimony and questioning of the weekend events and communications.
