Just under a month ago Northwest Herald reporter Brett Rowland rocked the McHenry County College political firmament by revealing that the college was considering holding a tax hike referendum:
Although little ol’ McHenry County Blog had predicted that was the entire purpose for hiring the St. Louis Unicom-ARC political consulting firm (see related articles below), having the paper of record inform so many more folks than this blog reaches was clearly damaging to any college tax hike effort.
Today, Rowland reveals more about the tax hike support building firm Unicom-ARC. Again, it is the main front page story.
Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.
