CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, IL - Last week, Green Party candidates for Champaign County Board released a joint campaign commercial. The commercial has been playing on cable and will show on broadcast television as well. The ad can also be found on the Prairie Greens website and YouTube. The ad shows each of the candidates describing their vision for a Champaign County that's transparent, resposible, and green. Specific issues addressed include the environment and land use, social justice in our courthouse, and support for the nursing home.

A script of the commercial is below:

Walter Pituc, District 7: "We believe in a Champaign County where urban development, rich farmland, and natural spaces coexist to make a more sustainable environment and strong local economy.

Joe Futrelle, District 8: "A county that values its public nursing home, treats its employees fairly, and uses our tax dollars wisely."

Mike Lehman, District 9: "A county that puts more effort into restoring social justice in our courthouse than restoring its clock tower."

Pituc: "We believe in a transparent,"

Futrelle: "responsible,"

Lehman: "and green Champaign County."

Pituc: "I'm Walter Pituc."
Futrelle: "I'm Joe Futrelle."
Lehman: "I'm Mike Lehman."
All: "And we approve this message."
