Uncle Sam: ‘What do I see in my bottomless hat of Chicago votes? Oh, I thinks I see more than enough votes to win! Mike: How many is that? Uncle Sam: You tell me!
Frank Kaminsky, Executive Director of the Illinois Prep Players Who Have Starred At Out-of-State Schools PAC, shows his support for Treasurer-elect Mike Frerichs. Jahlil Okafor, spokesman for the PAC, could not be reached for comment.
My sincere hope is that as Dan Rutherford hands the combo to the vault, Treasurer-Elect Frerichs decides to leave his Facebook and Twitter…personality…in the vault.
Congratulations Mr. Frerichs, it’s your day. Well done.
