Remember that 2010 billboard on Route 47 south of Jack Franks’ office?
That was an independent expenditure to help John O’Neill beat him for State Representative in 2010.
It’s the one that sent the Democrat into a roaring fit and stimulated his attack on Jack Schaffer, RTA Board member and owner of the billboard company.
Well, the figure for contributions used on the billboard is now much higher.
Consider the total just for union donations is $1,182,338, complied by a Friend of McHenry County Blog..

On the million dollars is still less than half of what Cal has received in his pensions in the same amount of time.
Franks is a total cultural alien, a Marxist and a hater.
