I last saw Bruno Behrend at the Illinois Republican State Convention in Decatur in June.

He was manning a booth promoting the call for a new constitutional convention.

I got him to pose with a bumper sticker for his cause.

Now he is coming to Crystal Lake tonight to debate Greg Baise, head of the Illinois Manufacturers Association. Baise ran for State Treasurer in 1990, but lost to Pat Quinn.

Attention All Voters!
