With a successful court press - contenders usually can get within the 3000 +/- area . Thats why Gizites are upset with DEPEW recent Village Board Changes.
They know the turn out for the Gizites will shrink. Thats why Bob and Mrs.Stempniak will work hard at St.Mary's spaghetti sale this year and be highly visible at the Church . For some voters thats all it takes - perception!
I would think any thing above 10% (300-350) of the votes Mr.Giza receives would be enough to send a public/media message. Whether its the Sparrow or Mr.Ward - it still would show resident discontent and lack of trust. Just think - in a slam dunk Election - to have people vote for a total unknown or a sparrow - what a message - !!!!!!!!!
