One thing about Michael Higgins. He knows what is going on with the organizations and departments he is Liaison. He reports on their activities and if a question arises, he knows the answer. DiSanto is the Liaison for the Cost Saving Committee. Higgins is a member. Who gives the updates for this committee? Higgins. If a question arises about Parks and Recs or the Senior Center or the school system, Higgins can answer.. He may not be the best councilman, but he is involved. Remember, he is still young. Still learning. He has only been on the council for 10 months. Give him a couple more months before making a decision. |

Brady and Murphy do a good job of looking out for the city employees and the folks that live here we don't need a third. I get an uneasy feeling when there is too much voice for the employees ,and citizens are kept in the dark. Not a good idea for any city.

I would have had to vote for him once before I could vote for him again. And I don't see the once happening.

He' a nice guy, but lacks backbone. Many individuals have told me that he listens to Vaslo much too often. In fact Vaslo has sent him out on the floor to do his bidding for him, promising he'll back him up. He also strives to be accepted by his colleagues on the majority side of the council. This may help explain why he is so naive when it comes to Vaslo. |

Being a new councilman is not as easy as one may think. Take a look at this website, no matter what the issue we always have people disagreeing. As a councilman you cannot please everyone. Those who try find out real soon it cannot be done. Sometimes you get yourself into a mess with things that on the surface appear so minor. Take a look at the resolution regarding fireworks. The fire department recommended that a business selling fireworks must have a sprinkler system along with some other restrictions. The council gives it very little thought (heck the fire department recommended it and it certainly made sense) But before the meeting is over here comes Rocky with some other businesses and points out how the council just screwed him out of a few thousand dollars. Now they are in a bind. They reverse themselves they look like they never looked at the resolution from all sides and it looks like they are telling the Fire Department and Residents that they are not concerned about the safety of our city. But if they don't reverse themselves, they will cause honest businessmen to lose income. Income they had been planning on getting them through the dollars they lose due to the cruise. A little issue that ends up dividing the council. This is just one example of how each and every Resolution has the potential of affecting someone in an adverse way. I was proud to see Mr Higgins and most of the others realize the resolution was a good resolution but was unfair to the businessmen. I was proud that Mr Higgins was not afraid to do the Right Thing. He did not let his ego get into his way like Mr Brown, Mr Kandes and Mr Vaslo. I think Mr Higgins is doing very well for being an elected official for only 19 months.

I didn't vote for him in 2003 I wouldn't have voted for him if there was an election in November of 2004. The last 7 months he has evolved into someone I may just vote for him in 2005. I knew he was active in parks and rec. and he has proven he is not just the son of the late Lynne Higgins . He is very aware of interal problems and waste. Mr. Higgins is out there talking with employees ,seniors ,business, and kids. He loves the city and cares about the people that live here. He has been accused of being a follower. Not true. He has been around Lincoln Park politics long enough to recognize when they are running amock. He knows a what a meeting is for . administrate and delegate. When one of the immature tantrums broke out during a meeting. He spoke out and expressed his disgust and embarassment. Higgins knew that is the type of behavior has plagued this city for years. It needs to end. Real leaders distance themselves from vindictive attitudes . The Taxpayers are fed up . They want an efficient .organized legislative branch of City Government. The old politics is dying . the people want the city to solve the day to day problems profesionally. Mr. Higgins knows he has to leave his personal feelings and agendas in the parking lot, for the greater good of all the residents not a single group. |

Wow Mr. Magoo what wrong with you everything you say lately makes sence!!! Did you take some new " make an old timer nice pill" I havent heard about!!! Anyways Mr. Magoo is right you can never make everyone happy in life in general, wether it be personal, business, or politics, I think what is important here, and I think Mr. Magoo will agree with this youngster on this, is a real man, ( or woman) will admit when they are wrong and try to correct a wrong!!

I agree on this. There isn't much that Councilman Higgins isn't involved in behind the scenes as it relates to our community events and children. He has been promoting LP to new businesses behind the scenes as well. I think that of all the Council, Higgins doesn't put in the limelight all that he does behind the scenes. This behavior gives the perception that he does nothing. This is why I like to bring out some of things that he does in the forums. If he won't toot his own own then I think it's ok if we toot it for him.

Re: Higgins Poll
I can honestly say I never had any sort of feeling about Mr. Higgins...until recently. I truely beleive that he has the best interests of this city and it's citizens at his heart. I would like to say well done Mr. Higgins.

Re: Higgins Poll
I agree also, he is just green. I am shocked to see such a close margin between yes and no. The pivot point is with the undecided. Mike, you're aces in my book. |

Re: Higgins Poll
I would not vote for him. I think his name got him elected. All he talks about is the seniors. He did one thing, The Expo. When he tells about events he either doesnt get the day, time or phone number right. He never says much until now that the election is coming. |
