House GOP Leader Visiting Rockford

Add comment March 7th, 2008

House Republican Leader Tom Cross plans to visit Rockford on Monday to promote his economic and capital construction plan.

And, by staging a joint appearance with Rep. Ron Wait, he could give Wait a boost in his bid to keep his seat in the House. Wait, R-Belvidere, is facing a challenge in this election from Greg Tuite, a Rockford Democrat.

Cross and Wait plan to appear at 1 p.m. Monday at Dial Machine, 2902 Eastrock Dr., Rockford.

Tuite came surprisingly close to beating Wait in 2006. This year, Wait may need all the help he can get.
