Mundelein board candidates discuss empty storefronts and their visions for the town
Updated 2/19/2021 3:43 PM Six candidates for seats on Mundelein's village board in the April 6 election talked about the local economy, the pandemic and other issues facing the town during an online forum Thursday night. Board hopefuls Sol Cabachuela, Willie Davismckennie, Ray Mullen, Jenny Ross, Angela Trillhaase and Tim Wilson participated in the roughly 75-minute discussion. A seventh candidate, Edith Reese, didn't participate.
The event was hosted by former Mundelein trustee Dakotah Norton. He asked questions generated by members of a Facebook group dedicated to issues in Mundelein. Topics covered a lot of ground, including what sets the candidates apart from each other, their visions for the future and how they would fill empty storefronts.
