Ken Koehler a capable leade

In this important election, in the midst of more than 10 percent unemployment across the country, I believe that it is imperative to vote for candidates who understand small business needs and struggles. It is the small businesses that keep America running, and their hard work and ingenuity that will get the wheel churning again.

As such, I am endorsing Ken Koehler for re-election as county board member. Ken formerly ran a very successful business that employed thousands of people over the years of partnership at Flowerwood in Crystal Lake. He knows the struggles to make payroll that our employers face on a weekly basis.

As board member since 2004, Koehler has proved to be fiscally responsible without lowering our standard of services in our county. We need a committed, experienced and progressive person who has proved to be fiscally responsible and Ken is that leader.
