There had been a rumor going around that the Wauconda Republican organization headed up by Bob Cook was going to withdraw its endorsement of Bill Kelly for Comptroller over the revelations concerning the rather outrageous videos featuring Kelly that had been making the rounds. It was thought that some of the Wauconda folks had become embarrassed by the videos. Well the organization recently met yet the rumor mill swirled a different way afterward. After the meeting the withdrawal rumor was modified to one that said the organization was merely not going to put out any Kelly literature and would replace it with that of another candidate.
It is all pretty confusing. Is Wauconda withdrawing its endorsement of Kelly, or are they going to dump his literature in a sort of soft withdraw? I had questions so I gave Bob Cook a call and he settled the question for me, at least for now.
Mr Cook told me that the organization was not going to reverse its endorsement of William J. Kelly for Comptroller. Mr. Cook categorically denied that any un-endorsement was going to occur at this time. As to the literature claim Cook told me that no Comptroller candidate had supplied them with literature and that any that did would find their palm cards and brochures would be passed out and put on display despite any endorsement or lack thereof.
Regardless of what might happen in Wauconda in the near future, it looks like the rumors are put to rest at this time.
