* A reader took this photo in Shelbyville…
Um, OK.
* I reached out to Rep. Halbrook’s Democratic opponent Mitchell Esslinger (who has raised only a couple of thousand bucks) to ask if he put up the billboard (which has no required “paid for by” legal disclaimer on it) and why. The response from his campaign manager…
The Esslinger campaign did not pay for this sign, it is from a constituent who I believe is upset that Rep. Halbrook missed the epi pen vote last year because in his own words he was “in the bathroom”.
Rep. Halbrook was recorded as an “NV” on the rollcall.
* From Facebook last year…

Can the question of the day be what would your lawmaker have to do to make you buy a billboard ad?

The IL integrity fund spent way more than the minimum two years ago without filing and no action was taken against them.
So why should the billboard guy file?

Rude and crude are antiquated terms…apparently.

This is next level trolling I aspire to have one day.

Too bad this wasn’t the same day Skillicorn was at the Harvard Milk Days Parade and Halbrook was voting Skilli’s switch.

tbh, I find it somewhat refreshing that this negative ad at least has a basis in fact.

Friendly reminder that the treasurer for the Halbrook campaign, is the same treasurer as the friends of Mark Batinick campaign.
And that person is the current plainfield township supervisor.
politics is such a small world.

Ironic since he voted against pot.

Factually accurate, gross but not over the line, on point and entertaining. I like it.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this is one of the funniest political billboards I have ever seen.
