Samuels endorsement by Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune endorsement of Julie Samuels, 10/13/04.
Excerpted from the Chicago Tribune, October 13, 2004:
8th District (Northwest Side, northwest suburbs): Rep. Calvin Giles recently was in hot water because he failed for more than a year to meet the requirements that he disclose his campaign contributions. He did finally comply--but after he had safely fended off a challenge in the Democratic primary. He has gone to court to challenge a State Board of Elections demand that he pay more than $80,000 in fines. It's impossible to justify Giles' disregard for the law. Green Party candidate Julie Samuels, an environmentalist from Oak Park, is endorsed. GOP ward committeeman Glenn Harris is also on the ballot.
