It arrived in my mailbox on Friday.

16th district Congressman Don Manzullo’s second mailing.

But, again, it wasn’t addressed to me.

It was addressed to my wife.

As far as hierarchies go, I guess I should be thankful it wasn’t addressed to my 11-year old son.

“An honest politician,” says WGN’s Spike O’Dell. (Personally, I favor Mike Royko’s having called me “an honest young legislator,” but he has gone on to his eternal reward, so O’Dell will have to do.)

The piece talks about

• money Manzullo has gotten for roads in Algonquin and Grafton Townships,
• the sewer money for Johnsburg, Port Barrington and Fox River Grove,
• the training of 6,000 McHenry County 6th graders about how to protect themselves from internet predators and
• helping open a VA health clinic in McHenry and keep open the VA hospital in North Chicago.
