I don't care for Chuck Sigerson's politics, and I really don't care for the implications of his governing philosophy for my city.I've taken my shots at the guy -- hard ones.
But Chuck Sigerson is in bad trouble -- heart attack and stroke trouble -- and that trumps politics. Whether you care for his politics or not, won't you stop for a moment and say a prayer for the Omaha city councilman, his doctors and his family?
FROM THE WEBSITE of the Omaha World-Herald this afternoon:
Omaha City Councilman Chuck Sigerson has suffered both a stroke and heart attack and was in critical condition Sunday at Lakeside Hospital, a statement from his son said.
Jim Vokal, a former city councilman, released a statement to the news media from the Sigerson family about 4 p.m. Sunday.
"Our family asks that the entire community pray for his recovery and for the health care professionals who are caring for him."
Sigerson, who represents District 7 in the northwest part of the city, was taken to the west Omaha hospital Saturday night after suffering a stroke.
Vokal said tests on the 64-year-old former insurance agent found that Sigerson had also suffered a heart attack. Sigerson and his wife, Liz, have two children and six grandchildren.
The family was gathered at Lakeside Hospital all Sunday, Vokal said.
