On May 18, 2010, the Rock Island County Board voted to give pay increases to several county officials, including the sheriff, county auditor, county recorder, county coroner, county board chairman, and county board committee chairs. Rich has been leading the opposition, and he’s not done.

If you agree that these guaranteed pay hikes are excessive and inappropriate in these difficult economic times, please follow this link http://www.co.rock-island.il.us/CB.aspx?id=105. Call your county board member. Tell that person that you are fed up with government officials who think it’s okay to pick your pocket. We need to let them know that this action was utterly unacceptable. The Rock Island County Board has never heard from the public like this before. Tell them that you will not stand for this.

Then, please visit www.themorthlandresolution.com and sign the online petition. Demand repeal and learn about the rally.

Lastly, stay tuned. This is going to have to move fast if we are going to achieve success. Let’s do it. This is a part of Making Illinois Great Again!
