How is Farrington going to ‘take back our neighborhoods’?
I have not been active on Facebook for years so, I found it ironic when a few of Anthony Farrington’s Facebook “friends” pointed out the hypocrisy of his online moral compass and the recent posts made by him that further reveal the desperation of an unqualified, slick politician in his feeble attempt to become our elected district attorney.
Susan Krones continues to rack up her many endorsements, while Farrington makes excuses for not winning endorsements by saying he is somehow above politics. That does not explain why he has flip-flopped his registration three different times to three separate affiliations in attempts to further his selfish political aspirations.
Farrington makes numerous claims on social media and in his campaign literature that he will “fund the police” and, while this makes a cute bumper sticker slogan, one might ask why is it that no law enforcement organization or agency has stepped forward to support or endorse him?
I have previously challenged Farrington to name any criminal jury trials that he, as the attorney of record, has seen through to verdict. The challenge has gone unanswered. I am going to drop the bar even lower and try to make it easier for Farrington to be transparent. Mr. Farrington, can you name just ONE single criminal jury trial that you have completed?
If, as I and many others strongly suspect, Farrington has never actually done even one criminal jury trial, how exactly is he going to “take back our neighborhoods” like his recycled campaign signs promise he will do. He is a civil attorney who handles divorces and car accidents and the like. Unless the neighborhood has been taken by an ex-spouse or an ambulance, one wonders how exactly he plans to get it back.
It seems obvious to me that Farrington’s moral compass is going south and the voters of Lake County should not let him take us with him.

Where have they gone?
Judy Garland had a voice that could melt steel. When she sang, the whole world stopped to listen. When Frank Sinatra sang New York, New York, everyone wanted to move there. When Tony Bennet sang, we left our heart in San Francisco. And Nat King Cole brought a smile to Mona Lisa’s face. Who have we now? What are the rappers singing about? What music stirs our soul?
Frank Capra said that movies should be bigger than life. He gave us Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Meet John Doe and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Our music uplifted. Our movies gave hope. Our leaders inspired. Where are our leaders? Maybe we should ask Judy, over the rainbow.

Susan Krones has the best background and experience
I would like to share my thoughts about the upcoming June 7 election for the office of District Attorney in Lake County.
I have known and worked with both candidates for many years. Without doubt, Susan Krones has the best background and experience to continue doing a very good job as our District Attorney.
But in addition to her impeccable legal credentials, she is a dedicated public servant who is committed to pursuing justice – an essential quality in a District Attorney. Plus, the DA has to have the legal knowledge and judgement to decide which cases to prosecute and the degree of prosecution to be pursued, so that tax payers dollars are not wasted but spent on cases which will take criminals off the streets.
Being District Attorney requires more than just a legal degree. It’s a specialized area of the law requiring experience, knowledge and judgement. Susan Krones has a proven record of imprisoning hundreds of child molesters, domestic abusers and other violent criminals throughout her 29 year career. She has directly supervised the other Attorneys in the DA’s office for over 10 years. She was elected as our District Attorney four years ago and has proven that she can do the job.
Susan deserves to be re-elected as our District Attorney. That’s why I am endorsing her and encouraging all voters in Lake County to please Vote for Susan Krones for District Attorney.
