Historical February 1987 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The voters of the 28th Ward have always been independent and active in their participation in the election process.
In the spirit of such awareness, The Times initially had hoped to sponsor a debate between the Democratic candidates for 28th Ward alderman as a means of presenting the men seeking office to the area’s constituents. Unfortunately, the timing of the primary election and the final date for filing made this impossible for us. Instead, the five candidates were contacted, either in person or by certified mail, and were asked to submit a profile outlining their backgrounds and qualifications.
In addition, all were given the opportunity to purchase advertising space.
The response was enthusiastic: four of the five have provided us with statements and photographs. James Balls, although responding affirmatively by telephone, had not submitted anything by the time it was necessary to go to the typesetter.
The 28th Ward is an area marked by a diverse population representing a variety of needs.
The staff of The Times hopes that the following statements will help clarify to the voter the opinions and talents of each man and their views on the issues confronting our neighborhood.
Please take the opportunity to vote on March 3, 1987. Voting is a privilege and a duty; it is your chance to voice your opinion and make your choice count.
