I headed over to IL-66 GOP State Rep candidate Chris Prochno’s “Conversations with Christine” meet-n-greet earlier this morning.
She informed me that in my “Local on the 8s” post from a few days ago I mistakenly wrote that she had voted herself a pay raise as a village trustee.
In reality, the vote was on whether or not future board members would receive the raise. The first group eligible would be those village trustees elected in the Spring of 2009.
The mistake was all mine and I sincerely apologize. (And I did also apologize to her in person.)
It’s a pretty embarrassing boo-boo given this blog is intended mainly to counter right-wing conservatives’ errors, doncha think? 
In other, slightly related news, she also mentioned that there was recently a “coffee” in Elk Grove and of the residents that came to talk with her and others the pay raise vote was not even an issue. Glad to hear it.
(Again, full disclosure, I’ve known her opponent Mark Walker for a number years and am supporting him in this race.)

As you’re well aware TA.
Wanted to make sure I got that one corrected. I may be supporting Mark Walker in this race (he’s been a friend for a few years now) but Chris Prochno’s a good person — makes for a good choice on the ballot in November.
