Integrity: I currently serve as secretary for
Central Illinois Economic Development executive board.
I am a member of AFSCME Local 2224.
I have nearly a decade of experience in financial management for
state government.
I continue to support the adequate funding for the Logan County
Health Department.
I support Logan County Regional Planning Commission's efforts to
update the county's comprehensive plan, which details generalized
zoning plans for specific regions throughout the county. I am
extremely happy for Sysco deciding to locate here and also the
ethanol plant which is to locate in Hartsburg. I continue to support
5-acre tracts. I hope to see the county and city continue to work
together as a team to benefit all of Logan County. I believe that
ideas can become realities. I am empathetic and willing to make
tough decisions, knowing that excellence can be achieved.
I would appreciate your support on March 21, 2006,
but the most important thing is to take advantage of the privilege
we as Americans have to vote.
[Gloria Luster]
