Libertyville Township Dem. Org meeting

We had an open meeting at the Maillards house tonight for the Libertyville Township Democratic Organization.

It was a great meeting. We talked about how the primary election went. About the results and how we felt about those results, in our county and other counties as well as the state elections.

We talked about upcoming Democratic convention in Waukegan on March 3. We also discussed people being elected for the precinct committeman positions and getting people to volunteer now since they can no longer be elected.

we also talked about Madigans putting up a bill to eliminate the Lt. Governor position in 2015.

The big discussion was about whether we should have co-chairs or on chair person to run the Organization as well as the jobs of vice chair, treasurer and secretary. There was some feuding because one person wants to be a chair to be allowed to really establish this organization as a serious viable group versus co-chairs where one person wanted co-chairs because that person felt the person wanting to chair alone was not dependable.

All i could say to the one person, an original to the group, that this is not personal and that that person should discuss with the other founder(s) and to look at the greater good fo the organization as a whole. I told the person wanting to be chair to understand that the person wanting cochairs is wanting this b/c of fear of lack of dependability.

Even in a political group there are politics to overcome. Ugh.
I am sure it will work itself out.

If you are a Libertyville Township Dem. or just a Dem and want to join this group, membership is only $10 and worth joining.
We welcome new members.
