Sheriff Idleberg's poor leadership has resulted in the correction officers of Lake County publicly announcing their vote of no confidence for Sheriff Idleberg. His total lack of regard for the safety of the jail staff is on display with this vote of no confidence.

"’ We've had no answers, which has only led to Officers being mandated with excessive overtime, discipline and unsafe working conditions,’" says Local 700 Business Agent Michael Tellez. "’Sheriff Idleberg hides behind the Lake County Board, and we will no longer tolerate his inaction.’”- Local Teamsters press release.

Rather than carrying out his duty to keep residents safe, Sheriff Idleberg chose to keep in step with his political allies and supports the SAFE-T act.

Plus, the Lake County Fraternal Order of Police has NOT endorsed John Idleburg for Lake County Sheriff. Sheriff Idleberg's poor leadership has also resulted in the correction officers of Lake County publicly announcing their vote of no confidence for Sheriff Idleberg.

Just a reminder that Lake County States Attorney Eric Rinehart is only 1/2 of 102 States Attorneys who supports the SAFE-T act. The other is Kim Foxx!

Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg is idle on crime and supports the Safe-T act. Remember this when you vote!

What’s with Chairwoman Sandy Hart and lying?

Lake County Board did that! Who wants a sticker?

Increasing taxes in the middle of a pandemic hurts low income communities.

College of Lake County Chairwoman doesn't care about her constituents... at all.

A taxpayer (whose name has been blurred for sake of anonymity) wrote a heartfelt statement regarding positions the board has made.

Her response was extremely passive-aggressive- "Thanks for your input... sent from my iPhone". Absolutely no care for the content of the letter, or the concerns addressed.

Feel free to read the letter below.

CLC Board Chairwoman Amanda Howland likes to rule with an iron fist. When trustees disagree with her, she has no problem publicly posting about their health issues and telling people they should be ran out of office.

That’s not how you lead a college, Amanda.

Joyce Mason, the current State Representative in IL 61, raises money for her cause. Unfortunately, 98.26% of it is from outside the district, mostly coming from Springfield.

Don't believe us? All her contributions can be seen below-

State Representative Joyce Mason has been caught using campaign DONATIONS to lease a car. Keep in mind, travelling from the furthest two points in the district is only a 32 minute drive. 🚗

Lake County Legislators Sam Yingling, Daniel Didech and Bob Morgan sponsored a new IL House Bill that would restrict the right to petition in school zones.

”a person commits the offense when he or she: knowingly displays signs, engages in oral protest, education, or passing leaflets or handbills within 300 feet of school premises.” Read below for the full Bill.

The bill states that one found guilty of violating this law would be guilty of the most serious misdemeanor, class A. Other crimes that fall under the same categories include some cases of DUI, Assault, Domestic Violence, Shoplifting, and drug possession.

The CLC board chairwoman is publicly posting that she wants to remove certain members of her board when they have a dissenting opinion.

Also, during the meeting she lied about a petition presented to her, saying that it was submitted “after the cutoff time”, and that the signers lived “outside the county”.

To her it’s all about power.
