Joliet Junior College Board candidate questions the need for a new "Multipurpose" building, calling a "want" instead of a "need."
Dear Editor; Are you sick of your property being taxed-to-the-max and your local elected officials continuing the spending spree? On the heels of the $58 million City Center project, the majority of the Joliet Junior College board is directing the administration to move forward with another new $45 million building.

It is unfortunate that the Kendall County coroner’s meals and travel expenses during staff training are now the subject of an editorial in the local Kendall County Record/Oswego Ledger Sentinel newspapers. Based upon my experience as a former Kendall County deputy coroner and other experiences I have had with expendable budgets, I know that it is possible to run the coroner’s office effectively without the use of county credit cards.
