Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Democratic Rep. Bill Foster won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Illinois on Tuesday. Foster, a physicist and businessman, defeated Republican Jerry Evans. Foster was first elected to Congress in 2008 in a special election to replace former U.S. House Speaker Denny Hastert, a Republican who held the seat for two decades. He lost a reelection bid two years later but won in 2012 in a newly drawn Democrat-leaning district and has been reelected since. The district includes Chicago’s farthest flung west and northwest suburbs and surrounding communities. The Associated Press declared Foster the winner at 9:51 p.m. EST.
