About this Article

Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka became the third Illinois official to publicly sound off in support of state GOP Chair Pat Brady, of St. Charles, who may be ousted this week for making statements supporting gay marriage. “He's on the right side of history, for God's sake,” Topinka told the Daily Herald Tuesday. “For me, it's being a total conservative that you're really pushing family values.”
