Mr. Metcalf Goes to Washington

When Elburn Trustee Jeff Metcalf says he's going to Washington to see President and Laura Bush, he really means it. This picture was taken from Jeff and wife Vicki's table at the 2005 President's Dinner last night in DC.

Jeff said his table number was 360. That must be the Metcalf's lucky number because they sure couldn't have been much closer to the action than this. "Yes sir, Senator!" When Mr. Metcalf goes to Washington, he goes "first class" to support the President, the Republican party, and the national issues that Jeff is so passionate about.

Say Jeff, did President Bush happen to whisper to you from the podium what he thinks about the TEA-LU bill? Elburn needs that bill out of conference committee, passed and signed to fund our Anderson Road overpass pronto. I hope you whispered back that vetoing that bill would be "bad news" for bunch of us very nice people back home in Elburn. If I know Jeff, he did more than just whisper.

Congratulations to Jeff and Vicki as they return from an wonderful evening of patriotism and politics, "White House" style. No matter your political leanings to the right or the left, we are so fortunate to have a "quality" person like Jeff Metcalf on our Village Board.
