Imagine how different things might have been if Winnebago County voters cast their ballots differently in 2002.
That was when 73 percent of county Democrats outside of Rockford voted for Rod Blagojevich in the primary for governor.
Think there’d be a special session today if those votes went to say, Paul Vallas?

The bicycle lane symbol was painted on Morsay Drive on Monday. Rockton Avenue between Halsted and Riverside is next. All striping is expected to be finished by next week if the weather cooperates. The city will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 19. I plan to be there because this is an issue I’ve been pushing for at least seven years.
An avid bicyclist once wrote to me and said that he thought the bike lane striping would be done when the Morrissey re-election signs went up. Well, striping will soon be done and the mayor will announce his re-election campaign today.
I never considered bicyclists as a voting bloc, but perhaps we are.
