When I was on the way back from the Woodstock court hearing on whether the Grafton Township Board shall be allowed to construct a new township hall, I saw the signs of the three legislators representing the area.

First, there was State Rep. Jack Franks.

And, he had a message he was unwilling to share with me when I emailed him asking for his position on fellow Democrat Pat Quinn’s 50% income tax hike.

You can read the message to constituents below:

Good enough for me.

On Route 14 there is a sign with State Senator Pam Althoff’s and State Rep. Mike Tryon’s names on it.

Tryon says he is “Working on Veterans Legislation.”

I’d feel more comfortable if the two Republicans would be as forthright as Democrat Franks in pledging not to vote for a tax hike.
