Huntley governance a refreshing change

The Village of Huntley's elected officials and professional management team oversee and plan community affairs.

They do a great job of governing and managing. That team stands out as an example of uncommon excellence among other multiple municipal bodies, large and small.

Based on simply observing the management of growth and downtown renovation, the Huntley governance team is doing its job. The citizens of Huntley thank all who are involved including Trustees; Administration; and not to forget Police; Fire; Parks; Library; Streets; Planning; Zoning; Marketing; District 158.

At the national level, the country has witnessed expressions of unbelievable vulgarisms, personal insults and rancor by two individuals seeking the highest office in the land. That is an unthinkable state of affairs.

Both candidates have given a new meaning to the word "nasty." The dignity of the office they seek has been demeaned beyond the intent and expectations of our Founding Fathers, state leaders are less combative on the verbal level, but the disdain, lack of respect and cooperation which exists between the governor and leaders of the Illinois Senate and House is not in the best interests of the citizens they allege to serve.

Both Rutland and Grafton townships have had their own share of confrontations between the Township Boards and the Assessors offices.

Politically motivated disruption is pervasive at many levels of government.

The Village of Huntley is a refreshing model of effective governance.
