Przybylo, Alpogianis Pamphlet Multi-Unit Buildings

Andrew Przybylo and George Alpogianis distribute literature in multi-unit buildings, encouraging residents to apply to run on their ticket.

 

After Niles Trustee Andrew Przybylo and former trustee George Alpogianis declared their candidacy in the April Niles municipal elections, they have begun distributing a flier to residents of multi-unit buildings.

Earlier:

The flier outlines their platform, noting that multi-unit buildings have different needs than single family homeowners and encouraging multi-unit residents to apply to run for the Niles board on their ticket. 

"We're looking for candidates, and it's important voters be represented," Przybylo said.

Prybylo said he had not formally announced his candidacy yet, though Alpogianis said last week that Przybylo would run for mayor and Alpogianis would run for trustee on a common slate. They are interviewing for two more candidates to round out the slate.

"We'll be pro business, pro neighborhood, low taxes and high service," Przybylo said Monday.

The flier, attached to this article as a .pdf., starts out talking about disarray in village government, then discusses measures that are working, such as the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the stormwater plan. 

It continues on to say the Przybylo-Alpogianis slate would work toward zoning changes, reinvigorate animal control, institute an inspector general, evaluate department heads by a Cook County-inspired evaluation system and form six standing committees, giving trustees responsibilities for them.

I said a few days ago that these 2 restaurant tycoons should add Betty Crocker and Ronald McDonald to their slate. It was meant as a joke, but now it seems like good idea. Hanusiek in his article here today in patch talks about the Bugel article where Przybylo says incumbents are gifted and others are merely mediocre. What catagory are the apartment dwellers in who they are asking? P's running mate George I just learned served for only a month, so both should tell us voters if George is talented or mediocre by P's definition. Maybe they could get some clowns with signs like at the car wash and flag down prospective candidates. If nobody responds then put the clowns on the ticket. Everyone will feel comfortable then.
I think the skunks should be gotten rid of like their brochure promises and start with the ones around Oakton and Waukegan.

Well said

Alpogianis is now and has always been a puppet for Nick Blase. Even today when Big Nick speaks George comes a running and I mean right now! This whole ticket is orchestrated by the real "BOSS" that those leftovers at village hall still report to.

I just want to say thank you to Trustee Przybylo for reaching out to us that live in the condo's as I read the flyer. I don't believe that we have ever been approached prior to this. Touche to you. Hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks again. Enough of all the negative comments. I will bet 99% of Niles residents were happy with the Blase era and his board.

Obviously you have not lived in NIles for any length of time or are very sheltered.

I have lived in Niles long enough to know how to spell it and I am by no means sheltered.

Everyone step back and take a deep breath. Mr Blase, and his team, must have done alot of good for the Village of Niles, over alot of years of dedicated service, or why would he be continually re-elected? People vote "for" when they are happy and "against" when they are not. The people spoke "for" Mr Blase, for decades.

It is not hard to be re-elected when you are running unopposed for most of those years.

Hi Comment Guy, Thanks for asking! I was finding that we would get a lot of people guessing forRead More some restaurants (usually when there was a payoff of free pizza), and not very many people entering for other restaurants. Do you think we should bring them back? I'm open to people's opinions. --Pam

Hi Pam,
Comment Guy June 13, 2013 at 11:35 pm
Hi Pam, Yes, I thought it would be great if we brought it back. For me personally, whenever I wouldRead More seed the contest on my Twitter timeline, I would immediately go to the site. And if there is an offer of free food even better. It does not even necessarily be a restaurant as it can also be any other type of business, i.e., bakery, retail, gym, car services, etc.

It starts Friday, June 7 at 4pm and continues through Sunday June 9. Free hot dogs, free breakfastRead More Saturday, chances to win an iPad mini, lots of fun things for adults and kids. Plus, of course, the summer reading program.
