WFRD election - April 5

Do you have any idea for whom you will vote from among the four candidates running in the April 5 election for a seat on the Board of the Woodstock Fire Rescue District? When is the last time you visited http://www.wfrd.org/? Ever?

What do you know about this taxing district? Do you know that the City of Woodstock does not have a fire department? The fire district is a separate taxing district with boundaries well beyond the city limits of Woodstock, much like Woodstock Community United School District 200.

Any idea what the budget is for WFRD? Know the difference between the Board of Trustees and the Fire Commissioners?

There are five Board members: Robert A. Kristensen, President; Kenneth Marunde, Secretary; John P. Kunzie, Treasurer; Lloyd M. Shaw, Trustee; and Richard Menzel, Trustee.

Four candidates are after two open seats on the WFRD Board of Trustees. The term is six years. The candidates are John Kunzie; Steve Pauley, 46; Scott Sankey, 39; and Lloyd Shaw, 67.
