The County has a meaningless code of ethics. It’s meaningless because there are no consequences for violating it. This is the last point in the code:
The below was posted by McLean County Board candidate Corey Beirne to his official Facebook page. Keep in mind he claims not to be divisive. Keep in mind he is also teaching your kids and depises anyone who votes Republican. Keep in mind he hates Trump voters he claims to represent in his own district now. Violation of the Code of Ethics?
Maybe Indiana did the disaster application right and Illinois didn’t. Obviously Beirne thinks the Feds need to fund his extensive wants list which is why the country is $40 trillion in debt as everyone has their hand out.
The County Clerk’s office didn’t “waste” money and it was $400,000, not $500,000. You voted for budget amendments largely due to overtime caused by staff shortages and new employees. The fake investigation by the State Police disappeared. Did your party instigate that investigation as a campaign stunt? Hidden agenda Corey? Do you ever read your email that provided the facts?
Is this what you mean about MAGA coming after you? https://blnnews.com/2026/09/03/court-ruling-pride-flags-in-classrooms/
Or is it this one that really aggravates you? https://blnnews.com/2025/10/17/libs-of-tiktok-featured-corey-beirne-yesterday/
.
District 10 and McLean County deserve better.
Corey has raised taxes by 23% in his 3 years in office. Why is he talking about “lower taxes”? The Democratic board is about to approve another 4.1% property tax hike in November.
Another in a long, long line of mean old MAGA meltdowns from Corey. He seems to have a junior high school ‘World at War’ mentality when it comes to local politics. At this point it’s almost pitiful — except he’s trying to represent me on the board while calling people like me ‘MAGA chunderheads’ and ‘T*ump supporting sycophants’ (what?).
If that’s how he talks about his neighbors and the people he wants to serve, it tells me everything I need to know.
Dump the drama – Vote for Matt Steinkoenig
Corey is a school teacher his pay and retirement is paid by taxes. You think that he is motivated to lower taxes, not. So the question is why would taxpayers vote to place a teacher in position to have a say in taxes. That and how he displays his personal life to his students makes him totally unfit to serve the public
Do not underestimate Corey -n-Abbys greed and ambition for higher office. Both are cop and military haters to the core. Both are all in progressive socialists and bring it to their regular day jobs as well as the elected positions they hold.
