[il-talk] animals in airport ordinance

[Michal Nowicki]

Hi Everyone,

I was not able to reach anyone at Alderman Zalewski’s downtown office, but I did get through at the 773 number. The person with whom I spoke gave no indication that anyone from the Federation had ever called regarding our issue. I gave her Steve’s contact information, and she said his office would follow up next week. Most of you have much more experience dealing with legislative offices than I do, so I leave it to you to interpret what, if anything, this response might actually mean.

Best,

Michal

Dear all, 

 

We do not have a meeting with either Alderman at this writing. Steve spoke
with Marge from Alderman Zalewski's office today and they will not set up a
meeting. She said that we should wait until after they do other work on the
O'Hare expansion. This is in my opinion a bit of a brush off. We are asking
for a meeting at anytime. Even if they wish to do work first, they could
schedule a meeting with us. 

 

We should start reaching out to our own Alderman if we have already called
these offices. Anyone else who calls should politely indicate that we do not
have a meeting yet and that we are looking for one at anytime. We cannot
simply sit and wait for our government to call us back. 

 

If anyone has not yet called please do so. It is a little disconcerting that
members are being told we have a meeting which we do not have. 

 

Thanks.
