Mark Kirk walked both the Lake in the Hills Parade and the one in Crystal Lake. Here he is seen in Lake in the Hills.

It not even just before an election and U.S. Senator Mark Kirk gave me a phone call.

So, it was recorded, a robo-call.

It was my new United States Senator.

He told me he and Congressman Don Manzullo were coming to McHenry County College Saturday afternoon at two to answer questions.

Strangely, he neglected to mention that newly-elected Congressman Joe Walsh would be appearing as well.

Details are here.

Competing for attention is a Town Hall meeting being held by State Senator Dan Duffy in Cary at the Algonquin Township Hall Saturday afternoon at 2 PM.
