Prochno words hard for her constituents

Posted October 30, 2008 11:00 pm

There are serious issues at stake this election and serious differences between the candidates. Taxes, education reform and bringing new jobs to our community are just a few we can name.

As Elk Grove Village trustee, Christine Prochno helped lower our property tax rate by 12 percent, fought fare increases for seniors using the PACE bus system and successfully fought the city of Chicago's "quick take" of portions of Elk Grove Village's industrial district.

Christine Prochno also established the Teen Health Initiative to provide healthy and safe programs for children in the community, including at Jaycees Park, Lions Park, Rainbow Falls Water Park and Community Center and the in-line skate park.

As residents of Elk Grove Village, we appreciate the fact that Christine listens, she HEARS and she does her best to provide answers and solutions. Christine Prochno is the only candidate for District 66 state representative with a proven record of public service.

We need representatives like Christine in Springfield! Vote for Prochno!
