Austin Weekly endorses Ade Onayemi |
| Posted by Administrator (admin) on Jan 14 2010 |
We have known and admired Ade Onayemi's work in Oak Park and in Austin for many years. A native of Nigeria and a political person whose outlook was shaped by the dysfunction of that country's history, he understands that Cook County has failed in ways both big and small. He grasps the waste and the corruption, the systems failure in providing health care to the poor and uninsured, the debacle at the juvenile detention center and in the county jail. He has a public career as an elected school board member and board president in Oak Park, as an education activist on the West Side. He has a private career as an architect with offices in Austin. Those public and private efforts integrate into a life spent listening well, building coalitions, solving problems, making difficult choices. We offer him our strongest endorsement.
