To the Editor:

I’ve had occasion to encounter several current board members and some aspiring candidate members of the McHenry County Board who have demonstrated to me that they’re willing to spend time getting educated about an issue that in many cases isn’t relevant to the district they aspire to represent, working with a group of people who in most cases can’t even vote for those who are trying to help them.

I’m clearly impressed with James Heisler, Nick Provenzano, Kathleen Bergan Schmidt, John Hammerand, Sandra Salgado, Michael Skala, Diane Evertsen and Yvonne Barnes.
