Why is that news?
Don’t Republicans support other Republicans on the ballot?
There was no Republican primary election in McHenry Township and all of those running for office seem to be on the same page.
Unified.
At least that’s what one might conclude from the four by eight foot sign on Route 31 just north of Route 120.
Only one Republican is being challenge in McHenry Township. She is Assessor Carol Prschke. The other Republicans have joined her on a sign with her name emphasized.
No GOP primary winner is being challenged in Algonquin Township, so no one would expect much of an effort there.
Not only does Independent candidate for Grafton Township Road Commissioner Tim Hoeft have yard signs, but there is a 4×8 foot version for the slate on which he is running.
In Nunda Township, only the Supervisor is being challenged and by an Independent, not a Democrat as in McHenry Township.
The Nunda Township was just finalized this week, so maybe there will be a joint sign promoting Republicans in the near future.
In Grafton Township, there is no doubt a serious effort is being made by a group of Independents to take out all of the Republican candidates but the person on the ballot for Clerk, a write-in candidate who is running unopposed.
There were three sharp primaries in Grafton Township:
- a three-way race for Supervisor, won by Pam Fender
- a two-way race for Assessor, won by Al Zielinski
- a two-way race for Road Commissioner, won by Tom Poznanski
Poznanski is the Chairman of the Grafton Township Republican Central Committee.
So the question of the day is whether the Nunda and Grafton Township Central Committee will be putting forth any organized effort on behalf of their Republican Party candidates?
TOM POZNANSKI for road commissioner!!
Is it any coincidence that the restore group signature color is green?…as in “the green shirts” of 2010?
I remember all too well how this group endorsed Linda Moore, thereby initiating all the problems we have today.
I remember them railroading the Township meeting inn 2010 and telling people how they should vote.
They handed out flyers and told the public to vote when they stood up.
Check out these videos to refresh your memory.

Are you willing to give them a second chance at that? I’m not.
Vote FENDER for Supervisor
Vote POZNANSKI for Road Commissioner
Vote JENSEN for Assessor
Al Z has already proven that he will compromise his ethics for his own benefit. ie: appraising his girlfriends home (a home that he now lives in) without disclosing that he had an interest in the property.
Aren’t Grafton’s “Independents” really lifelong “Republicans” ???
2/28/2010 “Tom Poznanski will continue to be chairman of the Grafton Township Republican Central Committee. Running against him was Tammy Lueth an ally of Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore.”
What’s up with that?

“Seeing the Light” needs to see the light!
Continuing to repeat falsehoods and aspersions won’t make them true.
It didn’t work in the primary and it won’t work now.
For about the 15th (and now last) time…
(1) There was no ethics violation. If I missed it, please cite it and your source.
(2) The appraisal had no impact on the sales price. The appraisal’s cover letter is dated 10/3/2011, 3 days AFTER the reported sale.
(3) The sale price was established by three competing offers which, when combined with the property’s 700+ days on market, fulfilled every definition of market value and constituted an arm’s-length transaction.
(4) The Board of Review used the sales price, not the appraisal, to set their assessed value.
So, we have:
– a valid appraisal performed AFTER the sale,
– a valid appraisal that WAS NOT USED by the Board of Review and
– a valid appraisal that had NO IMPACT on the sales price.
“Where’s the beef?!”
The real issue is whether Grafton Township taxpayers want:
+ an APPRAISER
+ with 30 YEARS OF VALUATION EXPERIENCE and
+ a PROVEN BUSINESS TRACK RECORD
or an assessor with less than three years of junior assessment experience.
There’s only a mere $1.6 billion of equalized assessed value at stake…
