CLINT MORRIS FOR MAYOR
Dedicated, committed and highly qualified to serve Belvidere taxpayers! Fellow Belvidere Taxpayers;
Over 30 Years Experience
As a resident of Belvidere, I know election time is near. Where else would you find current elected politicians, disconnected from Belvidere, coming out to support a local Mayor? On the surface this may seem genuine & give everyone inspiration to support the status quo, however; I implore you to strip back the surface & see what truly is before us. Current elected politicians stand beside each other & lend support to ensure their personal agendas are not disrupted. During the off cycle, within their term, they look out for their own best interests, not concerned for those who placed trust in them at the ballot box. They stick together & provide cover when they need your vote even though they’ve failed to deliver & the constituents they represent are set up to lose. These elected politicians swill from the same trough, however; they are the only ones guzzling from it while their constituents thirst to be heard & represented. A city cannot be successful with a Mayor who touts himself & favors special interest friends but doesn’t connect with the most important asset in our community, the PEOPLE! From what I read & see, our current Mayor is the definition of a politician. He fails to recognize he was hired by the people of this city, entrusted to represent the hardworking taxpayers of Belvidere. However, he remains disconnected from the City & chooses an alliance with outsider special interest friends, writing his agenda & filling his coffers with campaign contributions. Should we need validation, one need only follow the money & backers to reveal these “friends” first hand.

‘09 CHEVY AVALANCHE LS
In this election, we DO have a person who is committed to the city of Belvidere & beholden only to the taxpayers. A person who refuses to take any donations or funds from anyone. A person who has self-funded his campaign because he believes in the city he lives in & knows it deserves so much better. Someone who, with your help, will take back the keys from City Hall & return them to their rightful owners, the PEOPLE. A true Civil servant with incredible intellect, integrity, character, high morals, strong work ethic, & leadership who’s ready to work for the people of Belvidere. That person is Clint Morris & he has lived in this community for over 50 years. He attended & graduated from the Belvidere school system, his 2 children attended & graduated from the Belvidere school district & his grandchildren are attending Belvidere schools. For 2+ decades, Clint Morris volunteered his time through the Belvidere YMCA, coaching youth basketball & flag football. Similarly, he volunteered through BYB, coaching several levels of youth baseball. He not only coached but was an outstanding role model to all. I know this first hand, as Clint not only raised me but coached me, too. As I became a young adult, I was extremely fortunate & honored to volunteer & coach beside him. You see it wasn’t about winning & losing, it was truly about teaching, motivating, encouraging & developing kids to be the best they could be. The lessons he instilled in me, as a person & athlete, molded me into a responsible young man who learned early in life how important it is to give back to your community. Clint worked locally for Commonwealth Edison & dedicated 30+ years providing best in class support to ensure the needs of all customers were met with a daily objective of restoring power to the people. Clint represented the City of Belvidere for 12 years as Alderman of the people, basing decisions on listening to the people, gaining all the facts, understanding the law & legal implications & casting his vote with the best interests of the community & taxpayers in mind. At times, this may not have been popular, but being popular wasn’t what was at stake. Clint Morris identifies & understands the issues that face this community as he has listened to the people who are impacted by the “politics” of the current administration. Unlike some, Clint Morris will NEVER sell out this city for personal gain or to a select few who look to cash checks written by Belvidere taxpayers, then move on to the next money machine grab, saddling existing Belvidere residents with the long term tax burden.

In closing, there are some people who want you to believe all is well & you merely need to ask “Dave”, “Joe”, “Jeff” or “Karl” & they will confirm “it”. I would ask a better question: What have any of those folks done for Belvidere taxpayers?? The logical way to figure out the best qualified servant to represent small business & the people of Belvidere is to get the candidates together to talk about their record & have constructive debates. As taxpayers, isn’t this something we deserve? Clint Morris welcomes many public debates to discuss the vision of Belvidere because he is committed to all taxpayers, keeping our best interests in mind. He has a vision, many initiatives & a road map designed to make Belvidere a better place for both businesses & citizens. More importantly he has the intellect, acumen & backbone to get them done! I’m certain our current Mayor would welcome these same forums to take ownership of & discuss his political record with the taxpayers of Belvidere. On April 6th, we have a choice. I will be honored to cast my vote for my brother, Clint Morris, & humbly ask for your support in doing the same. You don’t have to settle for “like,” together we can love & embrace the change! Respectfully, Clif Morris

I was amazed at Owen’s positive attitude and response to being a part of this day. Owen wrote a proclamation for this hero and presented it to him during the parade. It was incredibly refreshing to see such an outpouring of love and respect for this veteran.

Just Who Is This Clint Morris Who Is Running For Mayor? We met Clint nearly 50 years ago when he and one of our four sons became friends, I think in junior high. His politeness and entire persona was very impressive. Years later he became our Alderman for several years. Both he and Julie have always been honest, hardworking people with big hearts who keep busy helping others. As our Alderman he really listened to the ideas of others. If you had a question that needed research he always got back to you with an answer. He did NOT “blow you off”. As we approached retirement age we relocated to rural Boone County. We enjoy country living, but at times like this we sure do miss our right to vote in city elections. Our friendship with Clint grew closer through the years even with all life’s blessings and health challenges. If the people of Belvidere elect Clint Morris, here’s what they’ll get. He’s NO POLITICIAN. They’ll get a straightforward, trustworthy, public-first dynamo who will be loyal to the citizens of Belvidere. A city’s growth and new projects cost money, lots of it. Clint, as Mayor, will keep both these plans and costs transparent as glass. He will fight to keep costs where the average citizen can afford them. He will NEVER forget who his is working FOR. The people will always come first and his goal will be to see that Belvidere is a place we’ll all be proud to call “Home”. We are happy to see that the young lad of long ago has become JUST THE MAN Belvidere needs now.

HELP WANTED
CLINT MORRIS Candidate For Mayor Fighting For Belvidere Taxpayers
The Boone County Shopper is looking for a dynamic sales associate to join our advertising team. The sales associate will generate advertising revenue by developing, servicing & maintaining a base of local clients as well as cold-calling new prospects.
Where There’s Smoke There’s Fire
The ideal candidate has: • Previous advertising sales experience with a history of success with customers & a proven ability to develop & grow revenue (preferred). • Knowledge & experience with print & digital media (preferred). • Ability to engage clients quickly & develop rapport, with excellent communication & out of the box problem-solving skills. • Great relationships with businesses & organizations in Boone / Winnebago • High motivation - a self-starter with initiative & drive to succeed & work with urgency to meet deadlines. • An eagerness to learn & be an expert at what you do • Valid driver's license, auto insurance, & vehicle required.
The many thousands of outside dollars being spent flooding your mailbox and the media with slick, color Mayor Chamberlain election ads should worry us all. Taxpayers need to take note when such warning signs appear. Just as we would if one of our children came home with a shiny new bicycle, Xbox or other bling, we know with certainty they could not have afforded on their own. We would be concerned and we would not ignore it at their peril, or ours. We would ask: • Who gave this to you? • What did they want from you?
• Why did they give it to you? • Did they want you to do something wrong?
The Mayor’s campaign extravagance was funded by someone besides the Mayor. Whom? What do these donors want in return? More of his tax increases on us, to pay back promises to them? A new Rooftop Rainwater Tax? Eliminate Impact Fees? Sweetheart deals on property taxes? As parents and voters, we know no one gives you something for nothing.
Help rip the price tag off City Hall, for a CHANGE.
