Ted Slowik writes: 'Ruby Donahue of Harvey has been active in Thornton Township government for many years, and she is concerned about the direction the township is heading.'
Harvey resident Ruby Donahue addresses an audience Tuesday during the Thornton Township Board meeting in South Holland.
“In speaking with other people they say this, ‘We don’t want to go to anything there,’” she said. “They’re not interested in bingo games every week. They want to know how bills are being paid. They want to know about the budget.”Donahue is a longtime member of the township’s Human Relations Commission. Volunteers representing many of the 15 communities in the township serve on the commission.
“We need to bring some more people into the township, people of all ethnicities, not just African Americans,” Donahue said. “We have to look in a different direction in order to increase the diversity in the township.”
