What Outraged Jack Franks So Much?

“Did you know that Representative Jack Franks asked Governor Blagojevich to give his wife, his father, and his brother government jobs?”

That’s the way a robo-call from Republican challenger John O’Neill began.

That revelation is likely what led Jack Franks’ supporter Gail Wood to file a legal complaint–in fact, a dirty trick–against the O’Neill campaign that cost the candidate a half day of campaigning yesterday.

Why do I say it was a dirty trick?

Gail Wood did not even show up for the hearing.  You can read about that here.

And here’s the email upon which the phone call’s message was based:

This is the robo-call message about which the Jack Franks’ supporter complained to the Illinois State Board of Elections:

Did you know that Representative Jack Franks asked Governor Blagojevich to give his wife, his father, and his brother government jobs?

I’m tired of elected officials who help themselves, not us.

That’s why I’m supporting John O’Neill for State Representative. O’Neill has six children and cares about the next generation – not the next election.
