Anna Tarkov http://www.linkedin.com/in/annatarkov OfflineNeighborhood: based in North CenterJoined 37 weeks 6 days ago. Last active 38 min 4 sec ago.Anna's Bio
What I love: my family, my fellow Chicagoans, politics, media (social and otherwise), meeting new people, travel, fashion, great TV shows, both films AND movies and finally, the White Sox.
FULL POLITICAL DISCLOSURE: I'm an independent conservative which means I understand the difference between party and ideology. This distinction is lost on most people.
I do not now, nor do I ever plan to, work at City Hall. You're really not paying attention to the Daily Daley if you want to ask me that.
I AM politically involved though. I've volunteered on campaigns, I participate in grass-roots activist groups and I helped launch a PAC (now defunct). And naturally, I had planned to further indulge my political passions and one day run for office... But these days I'm leaning more towards public affairs journalism. I'd rather write about the scumbags than risk becoming one. And if you're the impressionable sort, take heart. There ARE some honest politicians out there. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against them maintaining their integrity. It's a dirty, messy business.
