That’s the question candidates face if they are doing well.
The latest lie to reach my ears came from Fox River Grove.
A citizen was told that Larry Emery and Melissa Sanchez had voted to raise their own salaries on the Algonquin Township Board.
That’s pretty funny because neither serve on the Algonquin Township Board.
Indeed both are candidates for Township Trustee.
And, perhaps not coincidentally, they are running against two incumbent Township Board members who did vote to raise salaries for Algonquin Township officials.
Those two are Dan Shea and Lowell Cutsforth.
A third incumbent, appointed to the position, Russ Cardelli, led the fight against raising Algonquin Township salaries.
So, what’s it all mean?
I think it means that supporters of the two incumbents who voted to raise salaries are worried they might lose.
In any event, it has not been my experience that one can’t sell a lie in a campaign.
Coincidentally, a mailing arrived today from the slate of Trustee candidates that include Shea and Cutsforth. You can see it below:
In Addition the Millers have sent out a ‘LETTER’ to various Township residents ‘recomending’ who to vote for.
Apparently Marc and the rest of them can not do this on their own merit!
Were sure that will offend people more than anything!
Let’s look at the platform of the Slate.
1.”Retain the programs that make life easier for our citizens”? Translation = welfare/socialism;
2 Please define “financially sound”. do you mean the township isn’t broke because taxpayers have the deep pockets, called taxes?
3. Make seniors think they can’t do without them (township) when, actually, the senior services the Slate is talking about are offered elsewhere, more economically, and accessible.
4.”Resist costly expansion of government” Algonquin Township is a glaring example of “expansion of govenment.” worming their way into whatever they can to justify their existence.
Time to shut down the Algonquin Township money pit and the Slate.
Elect Cardelli, Emery and Sanchez for transparency and truth.

Klemm is the clear surpervisor
Educated Voter, it is certainly clear she is YOUR supervisor!
