Ken Dunkin & Abe Lincoln - the two greatest Republican State Reps in Illinois history.

Declined to attend, or missed the carrier pigeon that was delivering the last minute change to time and place?
Background on her not attending? Is it normal for opposing candidates to share the table with the Ed Board?

If reelected, Ken Dunkin will caucus with the Pajama Party.

Lincoln painting: “I’ve been meaning to tell you, I’ve got this feelin’ that won’t subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You’re mine tonight
Now I’ve got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can’t disguise
I’ve got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I wanna hold you so hear me out
I wanna show you what love’s all about
Mister- tonight
Now I’ve got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can’t disguise
I’ve got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I”
