The four Barrington Hills political committees still active with the Illinois State Board of Elections have submitted their financial reports for the first quarter of 2016. Click on any of the following committees to view their filings:
- Country Oaks Committee to Elect Robert G Abboud
- Friends of Kelly Mazeski
- Save Open Space – Barrington Hills Trustees NFP
- Unite Barrington Hills
Most of the reports reveal the predictable financials one would expect, but the SOS Party spent an unusual amount of money considering this is a non-election year. According to their report, SOS spent about $7,700 for consulting services and advertising.
Our first inclination was to assume they decided to assist another political committee financially in the March primaries, however the law requires disclosure of the receiving committee. Since the SOS Party is listed as the beneficiary of the expenses in their report, perhaps they are getting an early start on the 2017 Village campaign, but why so early and what were they advertising in the Chicago Tribune?
The only other explanation might be they are just a year late in paying their overdue bills from the 2015 campaign, but we doubt it.
