“The Better Path” Radio Spot

It is now ____ days until the election.

What is the path to a better Stephenson County? First, give the county government back to the taxpayer. Second, protect the taxpayer’s wallet. Third, reverse the trend of more and more debt and fewer deputies.

We can do better and with new fiscally conservative leadership, we will do better. With your support, we can make meaningful change.

“One Sheet of Paper” Radio Spot

It is now ____ days until the election.

Can we afford to continue a “wait and hurry up” approach to major financial decisions? In May 2006, County Board members received just two sheets of paper regarding the Mill Race loan, in January 2012 they received just one sheet. In both cases they were told they needed to vote right away, and your board piled on almost 10 million in new debt.

I believe you deserve better. With new fiscally conservative leadership, we will do better. With your support, we can make meaningful change.

“Six Years” Radio Spot

It is now ____ days until the election.

 

Our County Board Chairman calls the failed industrial park at Mill Race “the flagship of our economic development” even though it has no water and sewer access. In six years, the only jobs connected to Mill Race are NIDA staff jobs funded by you, the taxpayer, at a cost of $100,000 per year.

 

I believe you deserve better. With new fiscally conservative leadership, we will do better. With your support, we can make meaningful change.

“IDOC Warning” Radio Spot

It is now ____ days until the election.

 

The Illinois Department of Corrections has warned our county that our jail is severely understaffed, creating a danger for deputies and detainees. Yet the current county leadership has put this on the back burner while we pour money into NIDA for meetings and studies.

 

I believe you deserve better. With new leadership, we will do better. With your support, we can make meaningful change.

“Back Burner” Radio Spot

It is now ____ days until the election.

Did you know, last year our county leadership gave NIDA $100,000 to hold meetings while continued reductions of the Sheriff’s budget forced us to cut deputies? For years we have put public safety on the back burner so we can fund the county “Flagship” Mill Race, NIDA and increased debt.

I believe you deserve better. With new fiscally conservative leadership, we will do better. With your support, we can make meaningful change.
