Local Businessman Looking to Run for Treasurer
Local Business man Mike Kroll is looking to run for City Treasurer this coming April.

Kroll says he's working on getting his petition signed and has about a third of what's required.

Kroll tells WGIL he ran for Treasurer four years ago and believes there are better and more efficient ways to run the Treasurer's office that will better suite the needs of Galesburg residents.

"The reason that I'm running is pretty much the same as the reason I ran last time and that is I believe that we are not using that office the way it should be used. The statutory duties of the Treasurer are set be the laws of Illinois are much broader than the way the city of Galesburg use that office."

Kroll says he believes the Treasurer's office should be the checks and balance for the City's finances as well as the citizens and tax payers independent representative overseeing where the City's money is going.

The deadline for nominating petitions is Christmas Eve.

The Consolidated election is April 9, 2013
