While the Democrats chose to have a caucus, the Palatine Township Republican Organization has decided to hold a primary in 2013, and has endorsed a slate of candidates.
For as far back as current Palatine Township officials can track, there has not been a primary amongst either Democrats or Republicans, according to Township Supervisor Linda Fleming. But on February 26, 2013, a primary will be held to sort out which Republicans will face the Democrats in the general election, and it's going to be expensive for taxpayers. And it could be an expensive one for taxpayers. Fleming said she has seen estimates that the primary election alone could cost as much as $100,000 for Cook County taxpayers. Palatine Township Committeeman Aaron Del Mar, who chose to hold the primary, disagrees. "I don't agree it would cost that much.

Sorry, Guy, but that doesn't make sense. Public schools are why my wife and I moved to Palatine, and the teachers and other unionized school workers (including bus drivers) were responsible for the excellent education our daughters received. But whether or not we agree about schools, why would you want to waste money on the road district? more ›
