Watch: President-Elect Straub Addresses Criticism in First YouTube 'Friday Wrap'

Burr Ridge Village President-elect Mickey Straub took to YouTube last Friday for his first "Mayor-elect Mickey's Friday Wrap," in which he introduced himself and his concept of generally weekly videos, but also fired back at the criticism he faced at the last Village Board meeting, including charges of electioneering.

"If you ever want to teach your children how to not lose graciously, you may want them to watch reruns of that particular meeting," Straub says in the video.

The president-elect also pledges that regular videos will fulfill a campaign promise "to improve the communication with residents and let you know... what's going on in the Village."

Other topics Straub discusses in the 6:39 video include

• The dedication of the new Savoy Club park as part of the Pleasantdale Park District.
• Why he prefers the term "mayor" to "president."
• A lunch he had last week with a pediatric neurologist who is moving to the Village of Burr Ridge.
• Visits he has recently paid to local businesses, including the Mars factory where all the country's Dove ice-cream bars are made.
