dh_opinion The Soapbox: Daily Herald editors offer brief thoughts on suburban topics in the news
This editorial represents the consensus opinion of The Daily Herald Editorial Board. This week's Clippable Quote We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives ... not looking for flaws, but for potential. -- Ellen Goodman
Good faith goes a long way Arlington Heights trustees signed off on a three-year contract with firefighters reached after just a day and a half of negotiations. Also this week, the Hoffman Estates board approved a three-year pact with police sergeants hammered out in just three meetings. No lawyers were involved in either deal. It's a joy to see what good faith can accomplish.
Happy birthday, Virginia Virginia McCaskey celebrated her 100th birthday on Thursday. It's definitely been a rough season for the McCaskey family matriarch to watch. Hopefully the Bears turn things around quickly and bring the George Halas Trophy -- named after her father -- back to Chicago. Just for the record ... While some political opponents may be gloating, the convulsions in the U.S. House this week are not fun to watch for anyone who really cares about democracy. But they are part of our representative democracy. The good news is that our nation's history has proved the familiar saying"This too shall pass."
