Mary Koczorowski is NDFA's New Treasurer

February 28, 2011 - 5:50pm — Barry Aldridge

After a whirlwind tutorial, Mary is now the Treasurer for the group. She has the check book, so she is the person to go to for reimbursements.

As we know, the Treasurer's office has been mired in corruption, feather-beading, waste and fraud. Mary, a CPA, hopes to change this and bring transparency and accountability back to the post.

thanks Barry for everything!

It's been great working with you. Now that you have tons of extra time on your hands (harhar), don't forget to report all the great campaign work you do! :)

Congratulations to Mary!

Also, congrautlations to Mary on your new level of responsibility and thank you for taking this on. Not only is it a great help to NDFA but it is a chance to learn an important skill (filing reports for a political campaign) that you could offer to a candidate at some point.

And Barry, good job on passing on the torch -- always nice to let new people have a chance to step up and shine!

Hey now

Barry, I know your post is meant as snark but with the level of corruption in Illinois some people might read it as true!

To anyone reading this please know that our little NDFA bank account has been wonderfully, honestly, and transparently maintined by Barry, and if you wish to to get full details you can view our reports on the Illinois State Board of Elections website or look at the budgeting and other worksheets that Barry has posted on our group page at www.democracyforamerica.com.

If it's not too late

to shed light on past shenanigans.

Thank you, Barry, for your hard work and good stewardship as NDFA's first Treasurer. We really did appreciate you keeping us grounded in reality .... even as we were rolling our eyes at you :)
