I love the idea of sending yellow roses!

Dolar, who received the endorsement of both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune, was surprised by Brewer’s generous gesture.<BR/><BR/>“When I first saw the piece I asked myself, ‘why would he do this?’ This is an independent grassroots campaign, so I appreciate the added help with his mailers,” said Dolar. “We have gained a lot of momentum lately, but little did I know my opponent would jump on the bandwagon.”<BR/><BR/>The mailer, which contrasts Brewer’s record with Dolar’s and incumbent Bernard Stone, shows that:<BR/><BR/> * Dolar is the only challenger to Stone who has City Hall experience. <BR/> * Dolar’s husband, Ben Cherek, is a Chicago police officer who stands with Naisy to serve the community.<BR/> * Dolar is the only challenger to Stone who is advocating for job opportunities for diverse communities.<BR/><BR/>In the note attached to the flowers, Dolar wrote:<BR/><BR/>“Greg, I’ve been waiting for the negative mailer, but was so glad to see the positives instead. Thank you, and see you in the neighborhood! - Naisy”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
