I don’t cover too much of what is going on, but the man who was elected to the Illinois House when I decided to run for State Comptroller in 1982, Ron Wait, is being challenged for the second time by the former Winnebago County Democratic Party Chairman Greg Tuite.

It’s a TV market, so costly.

When I was running for state rep. in 1983 before I got recruited by Governor Jim Thompson to run for State Comptroller against Roland Burris, the district stretched all the way from Woodstock to Rockford.

In addition to the cash, it appears that two staffers have been assigned to the race–Garret Hill and GM Anderson, not to mention TV ad production money, polling and advocacy calling.
