The Chicago Tribune today endorsed one of the GOP’s young up-and-comers, Barrington businessman Dan Duffy, in the hotly-contested race to replace retiring long-time Senator Bill Peterson in the 26th Senate District. The Tribune stated:
Duffy is a smart, solid guy who has excellent real-world experience. He is troubled by the state's anti-business climate and wants to hold the line on taxes.
On the other hand, the Tribune explicitly noted that opponent Bill Gentes had given voters a reason to mistrust him, due to his admitted blatant lie regarding his employment status.
Gentes has been a successful mayor, but he's given voters a reason not to trust him. He said he was on a leave of absence from his job—but later admitted he had been fired. Duffy is endorsed.

The Tribune also endorsed GOP Senator Matt Murphy in the 27th Senate District, which includes a tiny portion of Lake County.

I saw that great endorsement today, TA and was sitting here and smiling. Let's hope that both Duffy and Murphy can prevail. In today's all-knowing information age it just seems ignorantly stupid to lie about one's work.
