Partisan politics in Whiteside County Government
Partisan politics have NO place in our local governments. Those who have been elected to represent us on the Whiteside County Board are responsible for making sure that our County runs smoothly and within budget. They are not there to expound on what political make-up of appointed boards is "fair" or not....there is no "status quo" on how many republicans or democrats should be on any given board. In today's newspaper is an article that brings attention to the driving motivations for decisions made by some board members! Read the article HERE
Bill McGinn has admitted that he will vote against Tony Arduini's reappointment of Jerri Robinson to the airport board based solely on the fact that she is a republican. Truly disgusting!
Truth be told, McGinn has an axe to grind with the whole (republican)board and Jerri's reappointment makes a convenient target!
If you would like to voice your opinion on this matter, you may wish to attend the Whiteside County Board meeting tonight at 6:30pm at the courthouse in Morrison (enter through the law enforcement center). If you wish to comment, comments are not allowed to be directed at or about any particular member, but must be addressed to the board as a whole). Meeting Agenda Available HERE
If Jerri is not doing the job to his satisfaction, that is a legitimate reason to protest the appointment...otherwise it is a disgusting abuse of his elected position!
