Crime busting Phil Nicolosi? TV ads a tad misleading

January 13th, 2008 at 07:15pm Chuck Sweeny

The Republican race for Winnebago County state’s attorney has so far produced just one TV commercial, and that’s by Phil Nicolosi, the appointed s.a.

In it, he says he’s been prosecuting criminals for more than 20 years.

Well, yeah, but … They were misdemeanors prosecutions, for traffic-related  offenses or ordinance violations, during the time he was was the attorney for Loves Park, Roscoe and Rockton.

I’m sure he did a good job, but it’s hardly a crackdown on serious crime, as the ad would have us believe.

So,  where is his opponent, Chuck Prorok? Outside of a mailer, I haven’t seen him on TV or heard his ads on radio. Against the onslaught of the well-funded Nicolosi campaign, Prorok had better get something on TV, and fast, if he wants to get any kind of a message out.
