About this Article

New Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen was known for having a penchant for theatrics during his days as a state senator. On Monday Lauzen greeted the new county board with a sports montage video meant to inspire the new officials to greatness. Lauzen pledged to reverse the low morale and "atmosphere of fear" he believes currently exists in the county.
