If you think things are crazy in Boone County—paying this kind of money for advertizing a tax due date in McHenry County is really crazy. I’m sure it is only a sign of the times—but does it make financial sense?

Wonder how much it cost?
This appeared before the robo calls from Washington, D.C., that people received last Saturday—The taxman calleth
The Taxman Calleth
A Crystal Laker got a phone call from McHenry County Treasurer (and Tax Collector) Bill LaFew today. 
It was a robo call from Washington, D.C., caller ID said. The number was 202-495-7118.
LeFew wanted to remind my friend that property taxes are due on June 4th.
There are two ways to look at this.
Cynic that I am, I'll look at the political side first.
It's another way to try to convince people that he is helpful less than a year before what could be a hard-fought GOP primary campaign, if McHenry County State's Attorney Lou Bianchi's supporters and financiers are in a vindictive mood for what LeFew did to oust him.
The other way of looking at it is that LeFew was being helpful.
In any event, this is the first time I have seen this technique used.
I wonder what it cost and who paid for it.
