Candidates clash over credentials

Candidates in the race for Kane County coroner are accusing each other of falsely claiming credentials that qualify them for the position.

Democrat Tao Martinez owns a company that cleans up death scenes, and Republican Rob Russell, a DuPage County Sheriff’s deputy, is a corrections officer. They are vying for the coroner post in the Nov. 6 general election.

Martinez challenged Russell’s claim that he has lead homicide and death investigation duties, as stated on his candidate handouts.
