It's a dog eat dog world when you can't even ask the Village of Mundelein to pass an ordinance banning the sale of puppy-mill dogs. And the collective we at the Chicago Tribune were none to pleased:... we're disappointed at the Mundelein Village Board. We're not outraged. We're not angry. Even miffed seems too strident. We simply wish they had shown more heart when civic courage was just what the moment offered them. In a larger civic universe that seems populated with colder self-dealing arrogance than we had thought, what Mundelein's mandarins did was not villainous as much as venal. It was the absence of meaningful values left clanging loudly in a vacuum. They could have banned the horrific trade in puppy mills from making a profit in their town.... but they did not.
Rutter: Mundelein had chance to lead on puppy mills, but didn't
Dawn Abernathy, one Mundelein Trustee who does not support a ban, told the Tribune ...
"If you need to change this, you can make these little humane ordinances but they'll just go to the next town," Abernathy said.Two weeks later, Abernathy was back in the news:
Mundelein trustees decide against puppy mill ban, opt for disclosure
A Mundelein village trustee said her election petition packet was taken from her car sometime this week. Dawn Abernathy said she plans to seek reelection to the Mundelein Village Board and has been gathering petition signatures. On Thursday morning, Abernathy wrote a Facebook post that said her packet of notarized petitions was no longer in her car. "Well it really is election season and this one is going to be bad," the post reads. "Someone has taken my petitions out of my car. Really?"Sources told investigators that the dog ate Abernathy's petitions.
