CONGRESSMAN JOE WALSH TO HOST TWO TOWN HALL MEETINGS TOMORROW

Congressman Joe Walsh will be hosting two town hall meetings tomorrow.

  In announcing the latest town hall meetings, Congressman Walsh said, “as I campaign into the new 14^thdistrict, I look forward to having dozens of intimate town hall gatherings in all seven counties.

Will people show up to see the level of Joe Walsh's "passion?"

This will help me become a more effective legislator.

Congressman Walsh has encouraged everyone throughout the district to attend his town halls.

“As a member of Congress, Walsh has made himself 100% accessible to his constituents. He is committed to understanding their values and has always kept them in mind as he represents them in Washington.”

To date, Congressman Walsh has hosted over 80 town hall meetings.

Since all in McHenry County but Algonquin Township are among those who reside in the new 14th Congressional District, I thought the followed email from Congressman Randy Hultgren might be of interest:

It’s been a great month so far back in the 14th District. I’d like to thank everyone for coming out to my town hall meetings this month. We may not agree on all of the issues, but it means so much to me that you are willing to be engaged in the process and have your opinions heard on the issues most important to you.

This photo has four congressional districts represented. 14th District Congressman Randy Hultgren talks with 8th Congressional District State Central and Barrington Township Committeeman Gene Dawson. Dawson's home and mine are located in Peter Roskam's new 6th Congressional District under the Democrats' reapportionment plan. The photo was taken at State Rep. Mike Tryon's Huntley Fish Boil, which is now located in Don Manzullo's 16th District. Grafton Township is located in the new 14th District. Christy Hultgren and the couple's children are also in the shot.

Please remember that I am holding another town hall meeting on Monday, August 29, in the Yorkville City Council Chambers at 6:00 pm. Hope to see you there.

I’ve always said that some of my most important work is done back home in Illinois, and that’s absolutely been the case this August. While I’ve been home, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with hundreds of constituents through one-on-one meetings, speeches to different groups and organizations, and local business tours.

I was particularly proud to be joined earlier this month in Oswego by State Rep. Tom Cross, Oswego Mayor Brian LeClercq and Metra CEO Alex Clifford to announce that Metra is moving forward with the Phase 1 Engineering studies to advance a project to extend commuter rail service to Oswego.

This project will be a huge victory for a region that has seen incredible growth over the past decade by helping to ease congestion on our expressways and providing a huge economic boost to the entire area.

I’d like to thank the students at Northern Illinois University for welcoming me to campus last week. I’m truly impressed by the work of these students. They are great representatives of the area, the 14th District and the state of Illinois and I wish them the best of luck as they begin to pursue their chosen careers.

If you haven’t already, be sure to “like” my Facebook page, follow me on Twitter, or check out my YouTube page to stay informed on everything I’m doing on your behalf in Washington and in Illinois. Also, I’ve updated my Facebook page with dozens of pictures from my meetings throughout the district this month – be sure to check it out.

As always, it is truly an honor to serve you in Washington. Please contact me at 630.232.7104 or 202.225.2976 if I can be of assistance, or if you’d like to share your thoughts on the issues before Congress.

In service,

Randy Hultgren
Member of Congress

On parole for Burglary and a Weapons offense, Mark Seranella is seen in photos from the Illinois Department of Corrections.

The following press release has been received from the Crystal Lake Police Department:

On January 26th, 2007 Crystal Lake Police responded to an apartment in the 800 block of Chasefield Lane in Crystal Lake regarding a death investigation.

The ensuing investigation revealed that the deceased subject, Ryan A. Maxwell (M/W/DOB06/02/88 of 1566 Birmingham Lane, Crystal Lake) had expired at a friend’s apartment as the result of a heroin overdose.

The case remained an open investigation until late 2009 when additional information was developed that moved the case forward.  The investigation culminated today with the arrest of Mark S. Seranella (M/W/DOB06/28/88 of 281 Fox Chase Dr., Oswego) who was arrested at his residence and taken into custody without incident.  He has been charged with one count of Drug Induced Homicide a class X Felony.

It is alleged that Mark S. Seranella contributed to the death of the victim, Ryan A. Maxwell, by facilitating a heroin drug deal that ultimately led to the victim’s death.  The investigation determined that the arrestee Seranella provided heroin to the victim in trade for a guitar.

Seranella is currently unemployed and on parole for Burglary and a Weapons offense. If convicted Seranella could be sentenced from six to thirty years in the Department of Corrections, he currently remains in custody at the McHenry County Jail.

I found this tee shirt at a Knox Pool McHenry Marlins Swim Team meet.

When I first looked at it, I thought the “CPS” stood for Chicago Public Schools.

Seemed strange since the Marlins were up against the Oswego River Rats.

As I got closer, I see it is short for
