I saw the sign in your yard for Jack Franks and wondered if you were another victim of him putting signs in yards without permission. Or, perhaps, you think you support Jack. In either case, we thought it was important you knew a bit more about the man behind the sign in your yard.

• Did you know that Jack can’t walk into the state capitol without a police escort? According to the search warrant obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, the Illinois State Police justified a search warrant referencing Jack Franks by stating that “probable cause exists for the crimes of criminal sexual abuse, criminal sexual assault, official misconduct, stalking and aggravated battery.” Chicago tribune story: https://tinyurl.com/jfsexualmisc Read Capitol Police report: https://tinyurl.com/jfpolicereport
• Did you know Jack has an interesting relationship with the people at ComEd that recently made news about bribes to state lawmakers? Jack’s campaign committees received a combined $27,000 in political contributions from Commonwealth Edison (COMED), its parent Exelon, and a former employee of both companies, Anne Prammagiore.

• Did you know Jack has some other questionable contributors and friends, such as Ed Burke (recently indicted), Luis Arroyo (recently indicted), Michael Madigan and Carlos Acosta (recently indicted in the AJ Freund case). Jack called Carlos “a model Board Member” after he was implicated.
• Did you know many women in elected office think Jack is a bully? Former County Board Member Donna Kurtz on public comment said that Franks had been allowed to “create an unhealthy environment fueled with threats and vindictiveness “ and “denigration of dedicated public servants such as our past Coroner, our current Regional Superintendent of Education, and our County Auditor?”.

• Did you know that millionaire Jack collects a pension now… while he’s still working.
• Did you know that back in 2003, Jack wrote to former Governor Rod
Blagojavich asking that Rod get jobs for his friends and family? https://

• Did you know that despite Jack’s claims as a tax fighter, one of the first things he did when he got into office was to hire two additional people to staff his office and did so without following the policy fo the county for hiring?
• Did you know that jack is hardly ever in his office?
• Did you know Jack lies? During his campaign he said…
– • he would never raise the room rate at Valley Hi (did it twice).
– • won’t hire lobbyists. Did it in the dark of the afternoon, under questionable conditions. And while they produced no results whatsoever, he continued to pay them after their agreed upon contract had expired. Interestingly, he eventually revealed a financial benefit as a consultant to an attorney that has relationships with those same lobbyists.

You see, you really don’t know Jack.

This election, you have a choice. You can vote for Millionaire Lying Jack Franks and get more of the Springfield/Chicago politics that you’ve had for the last four years.

Or, you could vote for Mike Buehler. Your neighbor. A working man, business owner, Husband and Father. Someone like you, that is tired of the kind of politics and corruption that is killing our country, state and county.

Recently endorsed by The Daily Herald, Mike will work collaboratively with the Board and other elected and appointed officials to bring real positive change to our community.
