When I was looking through my property tax bill, I saw an insert that McHenry County Treasurer Bill LeFew had placed in the envelope in his early May mailing.
McHenry County Property Tax bill mailing insert in 2013.
Just a little helpful reminder, I am sure that he would explain, of how unclaimed property may be sought by coming to the Treasurer’s Office and using “an I-Cash kiosk.”
But, in politics, name identification counts and this insert will help provide that.
Guess I should have gotten to this story a little earlier, because, upon review, I see it was only there through June 15th.
The insert also promotes property tax exemptions and the new 211 phone line run by United Way.

Back in 1966 when I was running for McHenry County Treasurer and Harris Rowe was running for State Treasurer, I put out a joint campaign piece for the two of us.
And the I-Cash kiosk never should have been inside the McHenry County Treasurer’s Office in the first place.
I attended the “ceremony” there and decided to be polite and not ask in public why such a remote and seldom-used location was picked as a test site – why not the Woodstock Jewel-Osco?
Or the DMV?
And now the McHenry County Treasurer spotlights Dan Rutherford, whom I personally like, in a taxpayer-supported mailing.
McHenry County politics at its best… yeah, sure…
When was the last tiime anyone saw Bill LeFew in the Treasurer’s office?
Does he pick up his $$$ County paycheck, or is it sent to his insurance business in Harvard?
