Congratulations to the Republican nominees in the contested March 2012 Primary, representing Kane County or parts thereof:

If you were a contestant, an observer or a volunteer participating in the Dewey Dash last year (an event sponsored by the Town and Country Library), you will remember the fantastic delicious tacos donated by Chico’s Tacos. They received rave reviews from everyone.

You donated the “gift of life.” We and Heartland Blood Center thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

When I was mayor of Geneva from 1997 to 2001 and throughout Chris Lauzen’s tenure as state senator, he was helpful to our city, as well as neighboring cities in his jurisdiction.

On behalf of the Kaneland wrestling team and their families, we’d like to extend our appreciation to our community members that made donations in support of Kaneland’s annual Knight of Fun fundraiser.

As voters work more and more to pay their ever increasing mortgages and taxes, they have less time to carefully review the credentials and platforms of the candidates.

When in my early 20s, in the early 1970s, while living in California, I experienced gas rationing and a huge spike in price.

As a state Senator, Chris Lauzen has demonstrated what we most need in an elected official—he responds to and represents his constituents.

I am writing to endorse Kevin Burns for Kane County Board chairman.

As Ambassador for the Elburn Chamber of Commerce, thanks to everyone who participated in the grand opening/ribbon cutting event on Friday, March 2, for Five-O-Tattoo located in Elburn.

Regarding snow removal, the last two “snow events” we had—each of which produced a fraction of an inch—the city decided to unleash our snow plows, complete with salt spreading, when the weather forecast called for temperatures in the 40s later in the day.

As a lifelong resident of Kane County and a member of the Kane County Board, I have an admittedly biased opinion that Kane County is a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Not sure if this is considered “news,” but I thought I would share in hopes that it doesn’t ever have to happen to anyone else.

This letter is in support of Chris Lauzen, running for Kane County Board Chairman.

The Rob Roy Drainage District No. 2 has submitted a signed IGA (intergovernmental agreement) between the village and the district.

Eighth-grade students at Kaneland Harter Middle School are participating in a food donation service project to support the Northern Illinois Food Bank from now to March 1.
