Apparently McHenry County Democrats Are Okay with Playing the Class Envy Card

One side of a new door hanger rolled out by the Mike Mahon campaign this week.

Is it a political issue to say with photos about a political opponent?

“He’s got two vacation homes.”

This is playing the class envy card.

Apparently McHenry County Democrats decided this is a normal part of playing politics.

What is missing from Mike Mahon’s piece is any factual evidence Sheriff Nygren is remaining away from the office.

Does Mahon have photo surveillance of Nygren’s comings and goings or is hard evidence lacking?

(I know one can’t see where the Sheriff parks his car at the courthouse anymore.)

Mahon’s political attack opens up Democrat State Rep. Jack Franks to similar observations or descriptions.

Franks is not exactly your arch-type of a “working Democrat.”

It’s fair to say that Franks is a wealthy, liberal lawyer-politician.

And, he doesn’t disclose his legal clients. There is no voluntary listing of his firm’s clients on his annual income disclosure statement.

At least one now- prominent Democratic Party legislator-attorney is known to have done so.  One had a chance of being able to figure out if any conflict of interest was going on in that part of that prominent legislator’s career.

We do know that Franks was a lawyer who represented Mercy Hospital in its attempt to gain approval for a new hospital in Crystal Lake. While he was state representative.

Mercy has a hospital in Harvard, which is in Franks’ 63rd District and, if approved, a hospital in Crystal Lake would have drawn patients from Centegra’s Woodstock Memorial Hospital and McHenry’s Northern Illinois Medical Center, both of which are located in Franks’ district.

  1. If (and this is a BIG if) Mike Mahon were elected to the Mchenry County Sheriff position he also would have a pension from Cook County and working on another, so what is he saying in his door hanger ad? Also if Mike Mahon wants a vacation home, go buy one. If he wants two vacation homes go buy another. Here is another suggestion for Mike Mahon, Why dont you run for Cook County Sheriff.
