And, here’s the invitation for the Union League luncheon.

Pam Kinsey and Lori Montana is handing the ticket selling.  The price is $500 to $5,000.

Keri-Lyn Krafthefer and Rob Bush, two Ancel Glink attorneys who attended the Annual Meeting of Grafton Township. $8,325 was billed by their Ancel Glink firm for work on the April 13th Annual Meeting in March. The bill has not yet arrived for April.

After looking at a couple of the articles on McHenry County Blog about the multi-ten thousand dollar March legal bill from Ancel Glink, one reader came up with the following idea:

“These Attorney’s are hired to protect the Government, at our expense. My question is, should they match funds, for an Attorney for the PEOPLE. After all it is our money??? Maybe then, the elected officials will show due diligence, to protect the Taxpayer.

“We have seen all to often, that Attorney’s work within the Grey area of the law, rather than right or wrong.

“I hope this can be an example of Government at work across the nation. Maybe then we can once again, teach our children and grandchildren, right from wrong.”

There are later fund raisers for bigger contributors, as you can see from the invitation below:

$1000 apiece gets you into the reception at 7.

Want your picture taken with the Senator?

Come up with the maximum contribution that a presidential candidate can accept–$2,300.

Making my point that Republican presidential candidate visiting Illinois can’t or don’t bother to work up a crowd is John McCain’s fund raising appearance Monday.

NBC Channel 5 reports McCain was here to gather money again, rather than to rally his troops.

Channel 5 did not bother comparing McCain’s turnout to the 1,500 who rallied for Ron Paul on Saturday.

One can see why McCain is concentrating on fund raising, rather than rallies.

As George Stephanopoulos points out,

“Though often regarded as a longshot candidate for president, Republican Ron Paul tells ABC News that he has an impressive $2.4 million in cash on hand after raising an equal amount during the second quarter, putting him ahead of one-time Republican frontrunner John McCain, who reported this week he has only $2 million in the bank.“
