McHenry County Board Chairman Tina Hill said Cross is the best choice for the Office of Treasurer.

“Tom’s prosecutorial background and knowledge of state government will give him the tools necessary to get lawmakers to pass a balanced budget and end the fraud and corruption in state government,” said Hill. “I am very proud to back Tom Cross for Treasurer because I know he will do an excellent job.”

“The path to reform begins with an honestly balanced budget,” said Cross. “As Treasurer, on day one I will work to require the Governor and legislature to enact an honestly balanced budget. Taxpayers deserve no less.”

As Treasurer, Cross has pledged to use the full power of the office to require the legislature to enact an honestly balanced budget, including legal remedies. And continuing his commitment to reform, Tom will establish a Government Integrity Unit inside the Treasurer’s office, comprised of financial experts, former prosecutors and law enforcement officials who will be charged with the task of reviewing state financial documents to ensure their accuracy and protect state pension funds from corruption and fraud.
