Eckhoff best choice for county board

Posted January 24, 2008 10:00 pm

I have known Grant Eckhoff for over 30 years. I am well aware of his dedication and commitment to our community, our schools and our county. I will be voting for Grant Eckhoff on Feb. 5 and encourage you to join me.

Grant initiated the revitalization of downtown Wheaton when he served on the Wheaton City Council, which helped increase local property values and sales tax revenue. Grant supported tax increment financing districts that over the long run will also increase property values, which will benefit our schools.

We need this type of progressive thinking and leadership on the county board. Grant is the right person for the county board. He can meet this and other challenges facing the county.

Please join me in voting for Grant Eckhoff for re-election to the DuPage County Board on Feb. 5
