jude Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 The Winnebago County Forest Preserve District will soon be governed by a brand new Board of Commissioners. Up 'til now, the District has been governed by a committee of the County Board. In an attempt to remove politics from the picture, the state has agreed to recognize a newly elected seven member board. Thirty-five people have thrown their hats in the ring, and I am one of them. I think you guys know how much I love the Kish (which happens to meander through a bunch of our parks) and other moving water, so I won't bore you with a campaign "schpiel". There is a list of candidates and our responses to some specific questions here: http://www.wcfpd.org/candidates/ I really need your help to spread the word that an avid fisherman and paddler is on the ballot. If you visit other fishing or paddling or conservation sites, please give me a plug. If any of you Winnebago County guys live near a busy street and wouldn't mind a sign, PM me your address and I'll drop one by. Thanks in advance....Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike G Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 It is getting close to voting time. I have gotten recommendations from Jude and waded through the 35 responses on the County Website. First I took Jude's recommendations then I went to the responses to select the rest. Here are my 7 choices and why: Jude Torre ISA Mike Eickman Jude Endorsed Lee Johnson Jude Endorsed Judith Barnard Former WC board member Lots of plans Concerned for youth Daniel Williams Land advisory council chairman Expansionist in regards to acquiring more properties Tom Hawes Roscoe TWP Supervisor Good Park Experience Lenae Weichel Volunteer Grant application writer It is not too late to tell me who I missed or where I am off base.
