To the Editor:

We all know that Illinois needs a dose of fiscal reality and policies that will bring back jobs to our communities. In Illinois’ 52nd House District, we have responsible businessman David McSweeney versus longtime activist Dee Beaubien. I sincerely believe McSweeney is the right person to help turn around our communities.

McSweeney understands that to build confidence with job creators, the state needs to pay its bills on time by cutting waste and fraud. He understands that our focus needs to be on improving bond ratings, not creating division between constituents.
