For Kane County Board District 3 Democrat: Laesch

Posted January 18, 2010 10:00 pm

Incumbent Democrat Jennifer Laesch is our choice to continue as the representative in Kane County Board District 3. She is being challenged by Juan Reyna, a father of three from Aurora.

Laesch had been showing up to every committee meeting and special meeting several months before she was appointed to the seat Nov. 10. She continues the same diligent work ethic today.

While some might say she hasn't been a particularly strong voice to date, she's still getting comfortable in her surroundings and has expressed some frustration with being brought up to speed on some issues.

She wants the county to practice more controlled spending and make better use of taxpayer dollars. She also suggests a re-evaluation and reduction of salaries for any county official earning more than $85,000 a year.
