Jeopardy? Last time Bill Gnech's attempt to get a term limits vote on the ballot was rejected because it wasn't written as a question. This time around, the proposal was rejected because the electoral board voted that the question wasn't specific enough regarding the time frame of the term limits -- enough that the objection filed by an Arlington Heights resident said the proposal would cause extreme voter confusion. All three members of the electoral board -- Mayor Tom Hayes, senior Trustee Bert Rosenberg, and Village Clerk Becky Hume -- voted to uphold objections filed by resident Jim Constantine. Constantine's objection? The 2014 proposal -- written as a question this time -- is "vague and ambiguous and unable to stand on its own without additional information being added to the public question and, thereby, causes extreme voter confusion." Constantine's lawyer, Thomas Bastian argued, "The question posted by Mr. Gnech's petition h

Police received a report of thirteen vehicle burglaries occurring on the south side, center parts of town and north side of town -- all occurring around August 4, 2014. Burglars have apparently not been thwarted by an expensive military grade secret encrypted police radio system implemented June 5, 2013, that some police brass boasted would make it easier to catch thieves because offenders could no longer listen in on police calls with scanners or smartphone apps. The Cardinal has predicted that crime might actually increase as secret police communications prohibits the real-time involvement of the eyes and ears of the public, which far outweighs a limited number of police officers on the street regarding the detection of crime and the awareness of crime. The secret police communications actually creates opportunities for criminals to overcome an ignorant public. Vehicle burglars hit 10 locked vehicles and three unlocked vehicles between Sunday August 3, 2014 at 10:00 p.m. and
