I feel I have to clear up some misinformation that may or may not have been making its way around lately.

Evans almost sounded like disgraced slugger Mark McGwire who, when testifying before congress about steroids, said, “Well, sir, I’m not here to talk about the past. I’m here to talk about the positive and not the negative about this issue.”

Yes, it only makes sense to appease the ones who are investing tens of thousands of dollars in your campaign committee instead of a bunch of farmers who probably don’t even live in the city and can’t vote for you anyway.

To round out his busy Monday, Elward had the case of former Joliet City Councilman Duck Dickinson on his schedule.

But then Capparelli started doing things that maybe a city manager with some experience in city managing would have thought better of.

But Esqueda does live in Kendall County and now a prosecutor there is trying to stop anyone from calling him a whistleblower during his criminal trial.

It would have been great if Abudayyeh called back, but we understand.

Yes, Glasgow bravely called those two men cowards while they were locked away and headed to prison.

The police report also said Dickinson had heard that “O’Dekirk claimed to have nude photos” of him, but that part must have been OK to Elward, or at the very least didn’t rise to his idea of criminal liability.

Over the course of time, the building will come down on its own, and with the help of vandals, who are already lending a hand, it will happen all the faster.

Any of the votes he’s cast as a trustee don’t count anymore, sort of like Louisville’s 2013 basketball championship or Medina Spirit’s win in the Kentucky Derby last year.

There may have been other Joliet mayors who went around crashing into cars and manhandling people in the street, then letting the taxpayers foot the bill for them, but none come to mind.

Not only is his petition for post-conviction relief somewhat insincere at best, it doesn’t make much sense and even contradicts itself.

As bad as it may be to scream obscenities at someone, it can’t be worse than confronting and roughing up another person.

Sure, you can take your cellphone into the courthouse starting Monday, and even talk on it in “common areas of Court Facilities, such as lobbies and hallways,” but don’t think you’ll be on the same footing as the special people if you run afoul of the law.
