Hi Tom- I went to Dewey, Miller, Nichols and ETHS. I taught at Oakton for over 20 years. My father taught at Nichols for over 30 years. In all this time, I have never seen the kinds of things currently going on with D65 administration. I feel exactly the same as you about Evanston and D65, and I'm very grateful for your hard work. Please don't let the critics get to you.

Hi Tom - There is no one who does anything truly worthwhile who does not attract their fair share of critics. The fact that you have critics is a sign that you are doing important and worthwhile work. Thank you for taking on this project.

Your politics shouldn’t matter and don’t relate to your efforts. Did you disclose your beliefs because people who don’t like your Substack attacked you as a right wing zealot? That what detractors do when they can’t argue the facts - they resort to name calling in order to silence voices that they don’t agree with. Sadly, you are right about the state of local journalism - thanks for stepping in to fill the void.
