Letter To The Editor: This letter of endorsement for Chris Slusser may sound biased because it is, as I consider Chris to be a good personal friend. Chris has already been serving as the Madison County Treasurer since December of 2016, and during that time, he has proven that his qualifications far exceed the demands of the job. I don’t know that Chris would even have a challenger in the Republican Primary, if not for the fact that he boldly took a stand against some co-workers who were accused of wrongdoing. As a result of Chris’ cooperation with law enforcement, these individuals were let go from the county. Chris has shown himself to be a great Treasurer and an even greater person. His honesty and hard work are reasons why I highly recommend voters give him their support and keep him in a job that he is doing with great success. - Mike McCormick, Godfrey

CARROLLTON - Mail-in and early voting have begun in Greene County, but Greene County Clerk Deborah Banghart said this election’s turnout is slightly lower than expected so far, especially given the competition amongst county board candidates. “Compared to another primary, it’s down from what it was previously,” Banghart said. “We have a contested county board race - there’s 10 running on the Republican side and only seven of them can move forward. I really thought that would bring out a lot more , but so far that doesn’t seem to have happened.” The biggest contributing factor to this lower-than-usual turnout is this election’s unusual timing, Banghart said. “Nobody really thinks of an election being in June,” Banghart said. “Always before, it was in March and April and now when you advertise it, someone will say, ‘I didn’t even know we had an election coming up’ … a lot of people
