We have this problem right here in this county.
Let’s see those statistics!

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AREA!
WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT HERE IN THIS COUNTY.
LETS SEE THOSE STATISTICS!
They will be discussing what’s happening in this county!
I don’t think the McHenry County State’s Attorney is on hand to provide information on Chicago 😉
Is this issue a distraction from the fundamental problems she should be working on?
WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH STATE SPENDING / PENSIONS!!!

I am not responsible for the personal revulsion you will feel after reading the story.
