From the Chicago Tribune:
52nd District
Think it’s tough trying to get things done in Springfield?
Try Barrington Hills.
When Republican Marty McLaughlin became mayor in 2013, the Village Board split on issues was 5-2 and McLaughlin was one of the two minority votes.
Still, he got his initiatives through, including a consolidation of 911 services that saved taxpayers millions of dollars.
As an investment manager, he knows money.
And he knows that because of the pandemic, revenue from state taxes will be a sliver of what they were before.
Other states, he says, have decided to slash spending to brace for less money coming in.
That’s the course Illinois should take as well, McLaughlin says.
His opponent, Island Lake Democrat Marci Suelzer, is a business executive and a licensed mental health counselor.
Her skill set is extensive, but McLaughlin is endorsed.
Also running is Green Party candidate Alia Sarfraz.
Is he the one running against Cabbage Patch Suelzer?
McLaughlin was tight with Dave McSweeney—thats all I need to know he’s worthy of a vote.
Dave believed in term limits and proved it, went after Red Light Cameras and got action, Has been against Madigan from the beginning, was big on trying to get focus on out of control State spending and Property Taxes, and actually followed up quickly and decisively on items brought to his office from constituents of his.
The other candidate?
She shows up from nowhere with a huge pocket full of Madigan support Money—thats all I need to know she isnt worth a look beyond that.
Had no idea she was a business executive and counselor–Good experiences to have, but the Madigan money and sudden support scares me beyond wanting to look further.
Nob Wire is right as rain.
Bob Wire, sorry,,,,,,,,,,,,
