Who are these people?

Vote "No"
Who is behind the "McHenry County Republicans for Lower Taxes"? This is the name of the organization, if there is one, that is on the "Vote for County Executive" signs springing up around the County.

If you see someone planting one of those signs, ask him (or her) who they are and where they got the signs. And let Cal Skinner and me know what you learn.

"McHenry County Republicans for Lower Taxes" is not known to the Republican Party of McHenry County, according to Mike Tryon.

State Rep. Jack Franks is pushing the referendum on the question of a County Executive. I wonder if he knows who is behind the signs.

"McHenry County Republicans for Lower Taxes" surely looks like an assumed name to me, yet the McHenry County Clerk's office doesn't have a registration for it.

Does that mean that all the signs can be picked up and destroyed?

The Illinois Secretary of State's website doesn't show any record for it.

Is it a fictitious group or a sham?

Publishing an image of the sign does not constitute any endorsement of the referendum.

Yeah I saw one. It was either by Lake and 47 or by Country Cupboard.
I thought that the Franks supporters said this County Executive stunt is just a slick move to "force the County Board to put direct election of the County Chairman on the ballot" as if he's some Chess Wizard of politics and has great ulterior motives! That didn't happen!
