It’s a question as simple as it is complicated. Should there be term limits for elected officials in River Forest? An April 1 election day referendum will determine the answer, but for now, there are passionate impulses on both sides of the issue. Carlotta Lucchesi says no to term limits. “If we have people who want to continue to run, I don’t see a problem with that,” said Lucchesi, an eight-year veteran of both River Forest School District 90 and Oak Park and River Forest High School District 200 boards. Susan Foran, who is responsible for the ballot measure, says yes to term limits. See TERM LIMITS on page 21
