NAME: Mohammad ‘Mo’ Iqbal
POSITION FOR WHICH YOU ARE A CANDIDATE:
Kane County Board District (19)
1. Why are you seeking this position?
Kane County Board is wasting tax-payers’ dollars. For example:
The County Board members give themselves health and dental insurance, and pension benefits for attending a few meetings. I believe it is corruption.
The Board is spending Millions on Longmeadow Parkway – an unjustifiable project.
The Board made bad decsions, lost lawsuits and then had to pay millions in damages.
Consequently, the County lost its liability insurance coverage! Now, we the taxpayers have to pay for the Board’s bad judgment.Two top worst spots in Elgin for traffic crashes are on Randall. We need to make it safe!
In short, it is time for a positive change!

3. What will be your greatest challenge if elected?
For County board members to give themselves the health and dental insurance, and pension benefits is corruption. I refuse the benefits and would make every effort to stop it.

Explore additional revenue sources to maintain public safety and sevices.
