Stealth Senate Candidates (Part 4)
There still are two. As we have discussed for the last month, Senate Candidates Dan Hynes and Maria Pappas are the only 2 candidates, out of 14 major Democratic and Republican U. S. Senate candidates, to decline, as of this date, to schedule a time to appear on "Public Affairs."
As to Dan Hynes, he now, according to Eric Zorn, has added a new condition to appearing at Senate Candidate Forums, i.e., he won't attend unless the whole gang goes. See Eric Zorn's Chicago Tribune Saturday (2/7) column at chicagotribune.com/zorn.
Also, Dan Hynes talked about education finance on last week's "Public Affairs,":
"So you wonder why in Evanston Township and New Trier Township your property taxes are so high. It is because the Federal Government does not pay its fair share of these initiatives. We have got to get the Federal Government paying more of their share and Illinois has got to get a greater share of the national pie. I am going to fight for more dollars for No Child Left Behind, for all of these initiatives... "
Dan Hynes, Democratic Senate Candidate Forum at Northwestern University held on January 21, 2004, as cablecast in the City of Chicago on "Public Affairs," tonight at 8:30 pm on Ch. 21]
So, Dan Hynes wants a new kind of tax swap? Lower real estate property taxes and higher federal income taxes? especially to help the "needy" folks on the North Shore? Looks like it, but we don't know, as we haven't been able to ask Senate Candidate Hynes about this.
If Hynes was trying to help the North Shore, it didn't help him in the Democratic Party of Evanston's and New Trier Township Democratic Organization's endorsement sessions, with Barack Obama winning Evanston two weeks ago with 90% of the vote and New Trier Township yesterday with 78% of the vote.
As to Maria Pappas, you can read about her financial disclosures, or lack thereof, in this week's Chicago Tribune.
Notwithstanding the above comments, Hynes and Pappas, as everyone knows, have considerable political assets. And, of course, they can run, but they can't hide-- and if they can, why would do they want to?
