“In the race for Village of Huntley Trustee, the best candidate and most deserving of your vote, is Burt Natkins.  Burt has a long history of community service, both in a volunteer and an elected capacity.  Throughout his adult years he has relocated a few times and has always sought out a way to serve where needed.  About three years ago, life brought Burt to Huntley.  He approached village officials who appointed him to the village’s Historic Preservation Commission, based on his work with historical groups.  I am chairperson of that commission.   I was amazed at Burt’s talents and abilities from the beginning.  He is able to sit back and listen (and really hear) and add comments when he feels it is helpful.  He can be one of the group or take a leadership role if appropriate.  When he joined our commission, we were reviewing the wording of our ordinance.  As an attorney, Burt was most helpful in structuring sections and phrasing of the document so that the meaning was the same, but the content was easily understood to the lay person.  He is eager to get the message across so our ordinance, when approved by the village board, can be user friendly for homeowners’ use.

“Burt is easy to talk to and well-received by people who meet him.  He will be accessible to residents and willing to listen to our concerns.  As a former elected trustee in the past, Burt is aware of the needs of a town.  He has experience balancing as aspects of a community’s needs.  Burt realizes the Village of Huntley has done a great job governing our community in recent years, but he would like to step up and offer his skills to Huntley’s residents.  He will make an excellent choice for trustee!  While all five trustee candidates have talents to offer, Burt is the best!!  He is a new face with fresh ideas.  It’s time to vote for Burt Natkins, Village of Huntley Trustee!  You’ll be glad you did!  Vote early, or on April 6th at your polling place.”
