POWER HOURS MADISON COUNTY Kurt Prenzler has seen the ups and downs in the industry since a young child and understands the needs that are needed for improvement and applauds those in the industry for their heart and dedication. Viewing nearby states it is obvious that simplifying building regulations and zoning is needed. As County Treasurer from 2010-2016 he exposed unethical tax sales, reduced budget by 30% (saving $2 million), ran ethical tax sales, exposed investment scheme and increased deposits in local banks (from $30 to $90 million). As Chairman for the last 10 months he has accomplished reforming purchasing process, saved millions on courthouse renovation with millions more to be saved in the jail renovation, changed animal control to a “no kill” model, reduced tax spending by >$1million/year, new direction to Metro East Sanitary District to name a few.. Edwardsville Mayor Hal Patton is running for Illinois State Senate in the 56th District. As a business man owning his own dental office he is aware of the struggles of being a business owner in IL. His leadership experience and accomplishments as business owner and Mayor will help him get Illinois growing again. Illinois has suffered from some of the worst legislative-driven bureaucracy in the nation and it is time to solve the financial problems and stop wasting residents’ tax dollars. He will bring ideas to lower health care costs and wants to see the growth of investment and business expansion in Edwardsville spread to the rest of the state. To keep residents from leaving Illinois we need to create businesses that have good-paying jobs, invest in infrastructure that fosters growth and good education from K-12 that also includes vocational programs in junior colleges. Jason’s campaign manager Brent Ellis (pictured on the right) shared that Jason’s focus is to provide the people of Southern Illinois access to quality jobs, lower taxes and safer neighborhoods in the wake of the opioid epidemic and related crime wave that threatens the health, safety, and welfare of communities across the state. Jason Plummer is running for Illinois State Senate in the 54th District. He supports lowering and capping out-of-control property taxes, will fight to reduce the regulations that destroy quality jobs throughout Southern Illinois, will be a staunch advocate for giving law enforcement the tools they need to win the war against crime, and promises to represent the strong family values of Southern Illinois.
