The Joliet City Council candidates spoke at an election forum held this week by the African American and Hispanic Coalition.
Joliet City Council candidate Jim McFarland came out in opposition to any immigrant detention center being built in Joliet, speaking Tuesday at a forum sponsored by the African American & Hispanic Coaltion. “I’m 110 percent against it,” McFarland said, according to a story published by the Joliet Herald News. The three incumbents seeking re-election in the April 9 race -- Jan Quillman, Mike Turk and Don Fisher -- were more circumspect, saying that no proposal had been presented and questioning if one would be given the federal government's ongoing budget problems, the story said.

Michael Assaf had been battling cancer and passed away on Jan. 27.
Michael V. Assaf, III lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 27. The 38-year-old Minooka Community High School math teacher and wrestling coach was the father of four children.
