<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>I just returned from the Ammons vs. Rosenberg
debate, for the Illinois 103rd State Rep Democratic Primary
race.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The major differences between the two candidates
were ;</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Rosenberg SUPPORTS cutting corporate taxes
and OPPOSES the $ 15.00 per hour minimum wage. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Carol Ammons in contrast OPPOSES cutting
corporate taxes and SUPPORTS the $ 15.00 per hour minimum
wage.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Rosenberg also stated that Carol Ammons experience
in local government on the County Board and the Urbana City Council does NOT
make her more qualified than him in terms of experience.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>He stated that ;</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial> " Springfield is a different BEAST than
local government and I am more qualified to deal with
that."</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The difference could not be any clearer to
me.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>What was also interesting was that I submitted TWO
questions for the candidates, first via e-mail several days before the debate
and early on at the debate.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Neither question was asked !</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>The questions were ;</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>1) Would you be willing to co-sponsor the current
House Bill to enact a universal health care system in Illinois ( H.B. 942
).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>and</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>2) Would you co-sponsor House Bill H.B. 3754 that
would dissolve the Illinois Charter School Commision</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I wonder why the Moderators avoided asking these
questions ?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
