To the Editor:

Letter after contrived letter is sent to the editor for the sole purpose of personally attacking state Rep. Jack Franks for his audacity in standing up for the taxpayers of McHenry County and fighting the County Board on its perpetual tax increases.

These letters slam Franks for focusing on fixing a problem that they argue does not exist. They claim everything is fine in McHenry County because the county has a good bond rating. They question Franks’ motives and say it’s a personal vendetta against the County Board chairman, and even criticize him because his family is a longtime farming family in the county.
