By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

Sabbagh for mayor

By Abra Oliver and Chris Seifers · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

The great city of Bloomington deserves a new leader and that leader should be David Sabbagh. Sabbagh has served our citizens and interests as a three-term city councilman.
