Law may block his candidacy for Carbondale council
Carbondale police radio dispatcher Tony Koosis, 27, planned to file for one of two at large council seats but discovered an ordinance bars city employees from running while employed. Filing opens today with primaries on Feb 22 and general on Apr 19. He will reassess his candidacy and said he aims to bring the city closer, support lower electricity rates, and back a low income housing project. Koosis endorses downtown redevelopment and a tax shift to state colleges to cover property tax losses.
