In the race for the 25th Illinois Senate District, Republican Jim Oberweis and Democrat Corinne Pierog have opposite views in the way they would approach the state’s financial problems. The two are on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

Oberweis, chairman of Oberweis Dairy, said his background and experience are what the state needs to become business-friendly.

“We have a very anti-business attitude from politicians in Springfield,” said Oberweis, 65, of Sugar Grove. “They are driving business out of Illinois, driving people out of Illinois, particularly people with wealth. That has got to stop.”
