  • Why is this failed Villa Park Council Candidate (in around 1972!) still on the OCTA Board? Can't they find another guy in a wheel chair to be the "voice of the disabled"? How about some new people on this board? There are only one or two Public Positions on this board and they keep this rubber stamper on there forever.
