Patch readers share their thoughts on the cancelled League of Women Voters debate between Chris Rintz and Gene Greable, after Greable declined to participate.

Patrick Livney, who failed to replace Joe Adams on Winnetka Caucus Council’s slate of trustee candidates, has bowed out of the race.
Winnetka resident Patrick Livney has confirmed he won’t run as an independent trustee candidate in the April election, Chicago Tribune reported.

Former Trustee Chris Rintz to challenge Caucus' village president candidate; challenger Patrick Livney fails to replace Joe Adams on the Caucus' slate of trustee candidates.
Next April’s Winnetka elections promise to be interesting as former trustee Chris Rintz said he will mount an independent campaign for Village President following Winnetka Caucus Council’s selection of Gene Greable for that post. More political intrigue could also be forming in terms of the village board elections, where challenger Patrick Livney did not win enough votes to replace Joe Adams on the Caucus’ slate of candidates for Village Trustee. Incumbents Arthur Braun and Richard Kates led the pack with 436 and 429 votes respectively. Adams, Winnetka’s Zoning Board of Appeals Chair, received 310 votes and Livney came in fourth with 216. In what was at times a raucous atmosphere Monday night at the Skokie School, Winnetka residents …
