County chairman gives Bianchi nod

Posted January 19, 2008 10:00 pm

As county board chairman and former business owner, I am in a unique position to observe the function of the McHenry County state's attorney's office. Since Lou Bianchi was elected, the office has been run efficiently, like a successful business, and with an emphasis on customer service.

It has done much more than save the county millions of dollars, it has given sound legal advice to the county board, department heads and elected officials in an extremely timely manner.

In the past, the office referred most civil legal work to outside counsel. What it did keep in-house was not expedited in the way Lou has done. Obtaining prompt, good legal advice is imperative to effective government and our county is better off today because Lou Bianchi is state's attorney. Please give him your vote on Feb. 5.

Ken Koehler, chairman

McHenry County Board
