Patch Asks Darien Ward 1 Candidates Questions

DARIEN, IL – Patch submitted questionnaires to the two candidates running for a Ward 1 seat on the Darien City Council in the April 1 election.

Ward 1 is in south-central Darien. It includes Concord Elementary School, the city's public works department building and Darien Plaza, which includes Q Bar.

Patch asked questions about property taxes, marijuana dispensaries, infrastructure and the police department's performance, among other issues.

Here are the candidates' questionnaires (those with links have turned them in):

• John Mayrens
• Ted Schauer

Editor's note: John Mayrens submitted his questionnaire later because Patch mistakenly texted the document to his landline, rather than his cellphone number.
