Waller works hard before, after crimes

Posted October 29, 2008 11:00 pm

As an attorney in Lake County, a member of the community of faith and a taxpayer, I strongly support Mike Waller to be re-elected as Lake County's state's attorney.

First and foremost, Mr. Waller leads an office that fairly, efficiently and aggressively prosecutes crime in our courtrooms every day.

He also works diligently in community outreach programs to prevent crime from happening in the first place. He is also a strong supporter of rehabilitating those who have committed crimes, in efforts to prevent future crimes.

As someone who is engaged in those efforts myself, it is encouraging to know that we have such a strong ally in the state's attorney's office.

Mike Waller has served with great distinction for the past 18 years and deserves to be re-elected as Lake County's state's attorney.
