I was in KCSO during the 2000 race and I don’t believe Akemann had anything to do with that leak. It was the Sheriff’s Office that sat on that tape recorded message for over a year prior to releasing it before the election. Akemann never had a copy of that tape.

Dave Akemann was a top notch prosecuter and a lion when it came to protecting the citizens of Kane County and bringing felons to trial. I recall the 80′s and 90′s with the gang wars, the drug trafficing, the murders. This county is far safer now than it was in decades past, in large part thanks to Dave Akemann’s time as State’s Attorney.

I’m counting on Akemann to bring his strong moral values and wisdom to the Kane County Judicial System again, this time as a judge. I’ll be voting for Akemann on Nov. 2nd.

Yes, in 2000 Meg was scared and played her sympathy card to the media making them think Mr Akemann was out to get her. I believe when the facts came out after the election, the picture looked much different! Let us recall that Meg lost her license for a while and was not able to carry out the duties of State’s Attorney for a time. I believe Meg is no longer practicing law. She got the media to paint a bad picture which did lead to Mr. Akemann losing but the county paid for that mistake. Let’s not make the same mistake this election! Look at qualifications,experience and the good done for Kane County and then decide who you should vote for!
By the way, ask any candidate if they are not having signs tampered with. It happens every time to everyone! Let’s not play more sympathy cards. No candidate would be that dumb to mess with an opponents signs!
