August 19, 2024 – My opponent's first general election campaign piece is littered with false information.
It’s a shameless attempt by extremist MAGA Republican Eric Stare to mislead you with false information and outright lies.
In the mailer, Stare claims that “As your County Board member I’ll oppose the removal of our beautiful dam…” But his promise "doesn't hold water."
Here's the truth...
The Kane County Board has no vote, no role, no influence, no say whatsoever in the future of the South Elgin Dam and Stare knows it – or should. The river and its dams are owned by the State of Illinois and controlled by the Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
Per state law, ONLY the IDNR and the Village of South Elgin (and its elected officials) will decide what happens to the South Elgin Dam, NOT Kane County.
Don’t be fooled by the misinformation and empty promises of an extreme right politician desperate to win an election. If he doesn’t have enough respect for you to tell you the truth, he doesn’t deserve your support.
The Fox River and its dams are owned by State of Illinois and controlled by Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Currently, the Army Corps of Engineers are conducting a study about dams and their impact on our ecosystem and property owners along the river’s path. Nothing will be happening anytime soon with the South Elgin dam.
I have met with many who own property along the river and listened to their concerns. I stated unequivocally then—and will continue to do so—that all parties affected by the dam removal must have their issues addressed during the process. I will always stand with the community’s wishes.
