Hey, the vacuous bimbo is back!
Dull and overly confident is a wonderful combination.
Lucky us.
Why don’t these RINO’s run as Dems?
Publius, you must be referring to Dist. 2.
This may be the first time I vote for a Democrat, because well, what’s the difference.
Sometimes it’s not “Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t”.
Any Dem that gets on the Board will be s Franks puppet from Day One.
Tina Hill trying to regain her swill!
Sorry Tina Bigasa Hill!
Who drove tiny Tina to the Clerk’s?
One of the district 2 filings brings to mind an old Elton John song from the mid 1970s.
Does Vijuk have a criminal record?
Not Jung again!!!
I thought we were done with that Franks brown-noser!
I thought he was always tearful because of his sweet onion gig, but it was really because he kept looking in the mirror and saw a abject loser!
Dist 1 so far has a guy that was appointed by Jack that voted for tax increases as a school board member, then voted to reduce our county levy.
Has he flipped or just wearing sheeps clothing?
So Chris Christensen gets Chris Spoerl on the board so now he owes Jack Franks.
He becomes Jack Franks whooping boy!
Carolyn Schofield couldn’t take attacks when running for State Rep.
I am sure that she will be another Jack vote.
Joe G. already is in Jacks back pocket.
Don’t know Bellmore or Howell.
Tina Hill retread 2.0 and John Jung both will be in Jacks hip pocket.
Proven Aavang and Smith are as well.
So it leaves Wheeler, Rein, Schuster and Brettman that have filed so far that will stand up to Franks.
This County is in said shape if those 4 don’t get in.
People need to really spread the word and at least get those 4 people in!
If you live in Districts 1,2 & 3 I feel sorry for you.

Although she’s probably dancing around her living room to this thinking it’s a compliment.
That’s the one 🙂
Hillary doesn’t need it for her campaign song any more.
Schuster Brettman Wheeler Rein no way could I or would I support this group.
This is an attempt to take control of county board and put us in the Stone Age.
We need good governance not obstructionist behavior.
The plan to reduce taxes by Schuster seems well thought out.

@Pacco you are an idiot!
Good Governance are you kidding me?
You mean you want the power to go to a few!
Those 4 are the best at voting to reduce your taxes and that is what every elected body needs at this point in Illinois!
What is good governance in your delusional mind?
People that vote to increase the budget by $200k a year with Jacko’s hirings?
How about Jacko telling employees they need more unions up there?
How about increasing the power to a select few!
We need reduced taxes that is good governance!
Jacko tried pushing through a $4,000,000 renovation that Rein questioned and presented to the board a $2,800,000 better use renovation.
Jacko pulled the $4,000,000 project from vote because he didn’t have the votes.
Saving $1,200,000 to the tax payers that is who we need in office!
“Pacco” is none other Mary “the Crook” McClellan or her integrity-challenged husband who she hired 1 month after sleazing into office as County Clerk.
Even Joe Gottemoller denigrates her, and that’s saying something!

Based on the flings so far we are looking at an even more lopsided majority supporting Franks after the next election even if all the “obstructionists” get elected.
I hope some of you bloggers are putting your pencils where your keyboards are and getting signatures this week.
Last time to file is 5 PM Monday.
