Hello from campaign headquarters-
I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday and thanked a veteran or active duty person for their defense of our freedoms. Speaking of freedom and the democratic process, my fellow democrats and I are continuing to ensure your freedom of choice here in McHenry County. We are hoping to develop a more representative government for the citizenry. From speaking with fellow constituents I am constantly informed of how glad people are that we could have alternate representation with new progressive democratic views. Many had fallen under the mistaken sense that there is no other alternative but to accept what the traditional republican party hands them here in McHenry County. They have felt isolated, frustrated and disenfranchised. That their opinion did not matter. Well, it matters very much. We need your voice and your views on how you wish your local goverment to address your local issues.
I pay significant amount of money in property taxes. Are the republican district board members using it in as fiscally a responsible manner as possible. As my county grows in population are the county board members planning for balanced growth with an eye to developing economic support for future needs?
The safety of our families and property continues to be an issue in our communities. We all know someone who has needed the services of our area fire department and police. Thanks to their dedication we enjoy relative safety and security. Yet, they are continually underfunded while demand grows. Many communities have to depend on the committment and self sacrifice of volunteers. Tell me what you think.
How are they going to ensure my child gets the best education possible? Are the teachers, who work very hard to provide your child's education, getting the best support and recognition possible? How is it that we have three no kill dog shelters but not one single operational womens' shelter? We definitely need effective animal control. But, what about our needs for a family support services and domestic challenges that face people we know and love?
Why has the county goverment been spending money year after year on transportation studies since 1940 but not implemented one of them. Our communities are growing but there is no plan for growth. Soon we will not have the option to choose after developers have taken up the available land sites.
Why is it that a current county board member can draw a paycheck for her post at the county level and a paycheck as a secretary at her job at the local township office. It would seem like double dipping on your tax dollar not to mention an appearance of a conflict of interest. How would she protect your tax dollar if Township and County issues conflicted? I am just asking. What are your questions. Let me know. Let your friends know about my website.But most of all vote. If you are not registered then register. If you do not know where visit my website jamesmctague4ditrict1.com to find out. Or, contact me and I will personally register you as a voter. Take care and have fun this summer. And again thank a 1st responder, veteran and/or active duty person for the safety and security you enjoy.
We need a change! We have a choice! Let me hear your thoughts ideas and needs. You have a voice and I invite you to express it here.
