Comments on: Winters: Jones sees Jefferson as black first, Madigan’s guy second http://blogs.e-rockford.com/inchambers/2008/05/09/winters-jones-sees-jefferson-as-black-first-madigans-guy-second/ The judge will see you now. Step into Springfield Bureau Chief Aaron Chambers’ chambers for an insider’s view on Illinois politics and government. No, Chambers isn’t a real judge. At least not in the sense of wearing a robe, wielding a gavel and issuing orders. But like a good judge, Chambers tells it like it is.

I have resided in Loves Park, for approx. 50 odd years, and this is the first time I feel compelled to speak out for a candidate. CLINT LITTLE, has had eight years experience, as a Loves Park Alderman, and he has served on numerous committees. He has worked to solve city related issues that I have had, where other elected officials have given me "lip service", and Mr. Little isn't even my alderman. I can say that he is the ONLY person that will listen to you, help, and if a problem can’t be solved he WILL TELL YOU WHY. Most politicians don't really care once they are elected, but Mr. Little doesn't forget about the people that got him elected, (even me who lives outside his district). So I just had to say that 'WE THE PEOPLE HAVE A CHOICE, AND IT'S A GOOD ONE .....BY THE NAME OF CLINT LITTLE. I just hope that this makes you think before you vote next November.

Another insult to the citizens he represents, along with his public school teacher insult the other day. Unbelievable!

I would assume that Winters would be seen as Mike Madigan's guy becuase they're both white. When the Rockford area's white legislators talk about black folks -- and I've heard 'em do it a number of times -- it's akin to hearing someone describe Martians.
