This was worth every penny to rid the McHenry County Board of Jack Franks.
Jacko says he himself didn’t have the scratch to run a proper campaign.
How sad.
Why weren’t the Cayman Islands acts tapped?
So, make out a check to help him repay himself the loan he made to the campaign.
Franks has become pitiable, but don’t give in to that temptation.
It’s called Karma!
Franks thought he was infallible.
