‘Even with drastic budget cutbacks’

County Board Members listed below

Want to build Perryville Extension and

Leave you with the bill! $34 Million + + +

· We are facing 10 years of listed road improvements throughout the county without building Perryville. Will existing roads continue to be ignored by building the

most expensive road project in County Board’s history?

· Now State’s Attorney, Paul Logli wants a 16% increase in your sales tax (1-cent County Board referendum for a $100,000 per bed, $130 million dollar jail). Jail would be the most expensive building project in County Board’s history.

· Corporate greed in our County – All citizens are being ignored while special interest companies want to gain more millions on Perryville*.

Chicago Tribune endorses White over Cohn because “she has some serious conflict-of-interest problems” and “She has accepted free office space from a local real estate developer who stands to benefit from the Winnebago board's decision on a local road extension. She sees nothing wrong with either of these matters. She's wrong”. Chicago Tribune, October 13, 2002
