Geez Kyle, if you're unhappy with Mayor Lansford today, you're really going to be disappointed tomorrow I believe. Why would I be any more unhappy with him now? I doubt you'll answer that. Like our City, you rarely ever answer any questions, even after falsely making a claim that I was doing something illegal. So I'll probably be left to speculate as to why. No time like the present. Are you suspecting that I should be more unhappy with him now because the vindictive attitude, not following our laws, false claims of illegal, civil rights violations, etc. supported by him scared off potential challengers? You would probably be more unhappy because no one is running against him for Mayor.

Obviously Kyle, people don't share your concerns. Now go away.

No one running against him wouldn't make me more unhappy with him, unless he is responsible for keeping others from running. Could it be the vindictive attitude, not following our laws, false claims of illegal, civil rights violations, etc., making others too intimidated to run against him, that makes him responsible, to make Willy think that I should more unhappy with him?

Obviously Kyle, people don't share your concerns. Now go away. Why do you think that you know what all people's concerns are? Even if I do have different concerns, that doesn't mean that I need to go away, does it? People not having a choice of someone else to vote for may automatically get him another term, but certainly doesn't mean that any majority of the people approve of the results of what he has done and the direction he is heading our community. A definitive defeat of a challenger by the Mayor after discussion of the issues would have been hard to argue with as the voice of what the people want, but an automatic extension of his job by default says nothing, in my opinion. It looks like we'll have to wait until April 2nd, 2019 to have a chance to find out how the voters feel about the job he does. I'll just have to keep pointing out what I see that I think is wrong until then, unless they were to start doing things differently.

You are a moron! Nobody ran because nobody thought they could do a better job obviously! Is Mayor Lansford perfect? No! But show me somebody better!!! Nobody stepped up to the plate because what would be the point? Keep up your rants. They are incredible! Canale building sold by the way so maybe you should shut up since you never seem to know what is going on around here and add it to a long list of buildings that have sold downtown in the past 1.5 years! Merry Thanksgiving!!! Obviously Kyle, people don't share your concerns. Now go away. Why do you think that you know what all people's concerns are?

It appears there's no one that feels they could do a better job as mayor, in these trying times of national economic struggling than our current mayor is doing.
I saw where a 30+ year business in Ottawa is closing its doors. Were they able to save the book store? I always forget to look when im over there. I wonder what Ottawa's mayor did wrong, that a couple wholesome businesses like those werent able to survive. After all, sitting between interstate 80 and the Illinois and Fox rivers, with the draw of Starved Rock, if 2 quaint shops like that are closing, it would have to be something their mayor and council did/didn't do, right?
Cant wait to see how you spin and twist ^^

Hey Troll, you're a total idiot too. Capitilize and bold some more letters to try and make it appear as if you have something to say. You don't. You've proven it in a completely different but equally effective manner as Kyle. At least he has the sack to put himself out there for the public to know who he is unlike most of the nutless wonders here - myself included.
This whole board is complete crap, so let's all just revel in the crap like pigs in our own filth. Might as well call everything and everybody out and take a huge dump on this place since that's all it's filled with.

You would probably be more unhappy because no one is running against him for Mayor. No one running against him wouldn't make me more unhappy with him, unless he is responsible for keeping others from running. Could it be the vindictive attitude, not following our laws, false claims of illegal, civil rights violations, etc., making others too intimidated to run against him, that makes him responsible, to make Willy think that I should more unhappy with him?
To point this out to you, Willy said you would be disappointed, and I said you would be unhappy. Neither of us said you would be more unhappy with the Mayor, only in the fact that no one was running against him.
You really give him too much power to think that he can intimidate others to run against him, although it looks like he intimidated you not to run against him.

You have questioned me and others and now cmon on how we can state things like "everybody" and "most people" etc, but then you can come here and make a statement like "majority of the people approve of the results of what he has done and the direction he is heading our community." How can YOU know what all these people are thinking either? Have you gone around and conducted a personal interview or poll of our community to determine that a majority of our 13,000 citizens think our community is heading in the wrong direction? I thought you were the best candidate for a change of direction for Streator and you chose not to run. I am more disappointed that YOU chose NOT to run, not the fact that the Mayor is running unopposed.

You need some serious help for your mental condition Kyle. Really? Because you don't like what I have to say but have no debatable points to make, do you really think that trying to infer that I have some layman diagnosed mental condition is going to make what I say wrong?

I wasn't saying that I know what the majority of people are thinking, I was only pointing out that running unopposed can't be expected to show what a majority of the people think of the job he has done, since there is no way to vote against him. Sorry to disappoint you, but I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't be running. My job is taking me to other states, keeping me from being able to do a job like that. Not being available for the job doesn't cancel my rights to talk about the job he does or doesn't do though. Do you think that maybe he will start to correct the problems, follow our laws, and honor people's rights this term?

Canale building sold by the way so maybe you should shut up since you never seem to know what is going on around here and add it to a long list of buildings that have sold downtown in the past 1.5 years! Merry Thanksgiving!!! Well, I see I have a new admirer. Welcome! I always appreciate a fresh set of ears to fill in on what our City leaders do and don't do. Starting right off with the name calling I see, how inetiligent and matureAre you calling me a moron just because you are having a hard time following the conversation? Willy was concerned with my level of unhappiness with the Mayor, indicating that I may be even more unhappy/disappointed with him now. Because like our City, Willy typically doesn't answer questions, I was speculating as to reasons why I might be more unhappy with him now. People not running because of what they thought wouldn't make me more unhappy with him. However if someone thought they had some good ideas and wanted to change Streator's direction, but as I suggested saw how vindictive our Mayor and City are, doing things such as not following our laws, not honoring people's rights, making false declarations of illegal, etc., and didn't run to keep from subjecting themselves to that, that might be a more viable reason for me to be more unhappy with our Mayor. Don't you think? Too bad they wouldn't just start doing things differently and come up with solutions to the problems. It seems that would be a lot easier than their vindictive route. It seems it started in 2007 when they secretly convicted my family of being guilty of sleeping at the Majestic, even though we weren't, they obviously weren't interested in hearing our side of it though. My talking about their head turning to the people beating each other up in the streets that keeps many people and their money away from other businesses downtown resulting in boarded up buildings, really had them displaying their vindictive attitude, by publicly declaring us illegal when we weren't and stopping a business with a requirement that doesn't even follow our laws, among other ways. I do hope they start doing things differently and come up with some solutions.
