Kelly Liebmann Provides Determination on Pension Benefits

District 6 County Board Candidate Recognizes Need to Give Definitive Response To Constituents on Pension Question

Crystal Lake, Illinois – Republican Candidate for McHenry County Board, Kelly Liebmann, warranted the need to address residents’ comments regarding the pension question posed at the League of Women Voters forum at McHenry County College on January 26^th.

“Although for some constituents the issue of pensions can be contentious, the issue of whether an elected official opts to take an offered benefit has never been a ‘make it, or break it’ reason behind casting my vote in any election,” Liebmann stated.

“My answer at the League of Women Voters forum was sincere, even if it made me vulnerable to ridicule.”

Liebmann, a political newcomer, has garnered support as discussion sweeps through District 6 of Kelly’s organizational skills and motivated enthusiasm, inspiring voters to believe Liebmann is up for the challenges an elected official may encounter.

“Although all of my opponents for the March primary have already expressed their intentions to participate in IMRF, those decisions should not deter voter efforts to research which candidate best represents their own personal values and positions,” Liebmann stated.

“I am an advocate against costly programs, projects, studies, and legislation and my constituents can reach out to me via phone or email to inquire more about my integrity.”

Understanding the need to define her answer before the March 15^thprimary, Kelly opted to exert her small government values to sway her faithful husband and adversary, regardless of discord.

“I will not be joining the IMRF,” Liebmann stated. “I believe public employees should be transitioned from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans.”
