Kiwanis Luncheon Speakers: Mayoral Candidate Steve Morley

The Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst continued with its Mayoral Candidate Speaking Series on Tuesday, when 6th Ward Alderman and Candidate for Mayor of Elmhurst Steve Morley visited and spoke to the club.

A good turnout out of club members and guests had the opportunity to meet Mr. Morley and listened to him speak and take questions for about forty minutes.

Morley shared with the club that “As an Elmhurst businessman, father and community leader, I recognize the greatness of our City and understand the challenges we face. I believe Elmhurst needs a proven leader with a successful track record of building consensus on the City Council, advocating for common sense solutions, watching the bottom line of our budgets and providing respectful representation. I am that leader.”

He answered questions from the club about preventing video gaming in Elmhurst, the challenges of balancing economic development with preserving the character of Elmhurst,  TIFs and the process surrounding the creation of TIF district boundaries, the Addison Street development, and the status of the Hahn St. development.

The Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst will continue the Mayoral Candidate Speaker Series Tuesday April 2nd when 1st Ward Alderman Diane Gutenkauf visits the club.
