To the people of McHenry County,
I campaigned for the office of Recorder on a couple key premises and one, very unusual promise. I promised to work toward eliminating my role of Recorder by the end of my first term. In just over 6 months in the role, with the help of Chairman Franks, Clerk McClellan, the State's Attorney's office and the County Board we got the referendum on the Spring 2018 Primary ballot. At that point, he decision will ultimately be in your hands and I trust that you will continue what we've started and vote to eliminate the role.
I also promised to run an honorable office, one you could and should be proud of... an operationally excellent office with a focus on quality and productivity. We have made tremendous progress toward that goal. You can read about all this and more in the mid-year update linked below.
I thank you for your support and welcome your feedback.
Kindest Regards,
Joseph J. Tirio
McHenry County Recorder
