CLARITY CHANGED EVERYTHING. @WTPMTV

Uploaded January 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

CLARITY CHANGED EVERYTHING. 2025 was amazing. Revealing. Eye-opening.

More than anything, it brought me clarity…and I’m grateful for that.

My values are more clear now than ever.

My priorities have shifted and are very clear.

God. Health. Family.

To everyone who’s read my words over the years, watched the clips, leaned in even when the truth was uncomfortable…I hope you felt that I was always serving something bigger than myself. Pouring into the community honesty, clarity, and care as best as I could.

I wish nothing but the best for all of us in 2026.

May good win over evil in the days ahead.

I’m stepping into this year on a very clear path…and I wish that same clarity and peace for everyone, even those who may not agree with me.

Tonight, I’m sharing one of my favorite paintings by Fran Joy called “Dear God”.

To me, it’s a woman praying…and God listening. Present.

Grateful to Prairie Moon for another beautiful New Year’s Eve of food and music. Grateful we made it home safely through the ice. At midnight, the Stylistics played “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” we slow-danced into 2026, and I whispered, “Thank you, God.”

Here we go. 💫

$🎥 WATCH THIS CAREFULLY. THEN ASK YOURSELF WHY. This is not a narrative. This is the record...from the March 9th City Council meeting. Residents showed up. Not for politics. For survival. Some of the voices you hear are speaking for others...neighbors, seniors, longtime homeowners trying to stay in their homes as property taxes rise. And what you’re about to watch…you cannot unsee. The Evanston Property Tax Circuit Breaker program...a pilot requesting approximately $500,000 from a housing fund publicly discussed in the millions (around $7M)... was delayed until April 13th. Not approved. Not rejected. Delayed. Now the timeline...because timelines don’t lie. Councilmember Clare Kelly and I began this work in November 2024. We met with Liza Roberson-Young, Legislative Policy Advisor at the City of Evanston, to start the process. Throughout 2025, we worked with Cook County officials and housing experts to build this program with data. We attempted to work with additional City staff. Per direction from City Manager Luke Stowe, all coordination had to go through him first. Councilmember Kelly followed that direction. And based on that process, no further assistance was provided to advance the program from City staff. Now watch the meeting. Not what was said after. What was said in the room. You will see...Councilmembers Tom Suffredin and Matt Rodgers supporting moving this forward. And you will also see:...Councilmembers Bobby Burns and Shawn Iles opposing moving it forward at this time. You will hear...Property tax assistance described as not a priority by councilmember Shawn Iles, who works for a homeless shelter. Let that sit. Now layer that with the record: For over a year, property tax relief was NOT part of the Strategic Housing Plan. Then...right as this program gains momentum... it appears in the plan shortly before discussion. As if it had always been there. It hadn’t. Check the records. And here’s the part you cannot miss. After a full year of work on a developed program... Instead of collaborating… Instead of amending… Instead of strengthening what already exists… A separate approach is introduced at the final stage. Not to build together. To compete. So now, instead of moving forward with a completed, researched program... The City delays it to April 13th… to have time to create and put a new proposal up against it. Ask yourself: If this was about helping residents… why not work together over the past year? Why wait until the moment of movement… to introduce something competing instead of collaborating? And now the question many residents are asking gets even harder: Why block a $500,000 pilot... a fraction of a fund publicly discussed at approximately $7M... for one year of property tax relief? Is part of the resistance to this $500,000 pilot tied to how housing funds may need to be prioritized elsewhere...particularly in light of the Wesley situation? Will Wesley be discussed the same night...April 13th...as the Circuit Breaker? Residents are asking whether there is enough funding to both provide property tax relief to longtime homeowners and address the needs of families impacted by the Wesley situation. Because from the outside looking in... why else block a fraction of available funds in the millions for immediate relief? No conclusions. Just questions. Because while this is being delayed... Residents are still paying rising property taxes. Right now. Not April 13th. Now. So, as you watch this video... Don’t argue with it. Just watch. Watch who is trying to move it forward. Watch who is stopping it. Watch when the shift happens. And watch who says nothing. Including Mayor Daniel Biss, whose position...based on public observation...has not been clearly stated in this process. Because decisions aren’t only made in votes. They’re made in delays. 📅 Next vote: April 13th 🎥 WATCH THIS CAREFULLY.
