would vote to dissolve IPD. Had IPD been successful in disqualifying White, there would
not have been enough votes on the 2013 commission to dissolve IPD. White received a
large mandate from the voters to do just that. This was nothing more than Chicago politics
being used in an attempt to save IPD. Inglis should be thankful that White did not yield
to these underhanded tactics and voted them out. Inglis is a better place without IPD! Yet,
the state is still pursuing a good man. Who's behind this now? This is just wrong!
Vote for Andy White, Inglis Commission.
