Online PR News � 02-November-2016 � Running for Kane County Coroner where the need for infrastructure has never been greater, is Tao "Tom" Martinez. The candidate on the ballot for the November 8, 2016, election is currently serving as a Kendall County Deputy Coroner.

Tao Martinez says he is passionate about running for Coroner and hopes to represent the public in a manner that best serves them. He added that he plans to use his vast experience and communication skills to help reform local government by taking moral actions.

The spotlight on Kane County Coroner budget woes are pressing elected officials. When asked about his strategy for resolution, Martinez said he would work cooperatively with the County Board to balance the budget and restore respect to what he calls a beleaguered office.

"I have worked with budgets five times the current Coroner's budget," he explained. "I know that anytime Coroner employees receive a 40 percent raise, that budget is irresponsible. There's no excuse for the Coroner being over budget four straight years."

If elected, the candidate says he will streamline standard operating procedures for autopsies on a case by case basis. Currently, Illinois State statutes use 12 criteria to determine if an autopsy is warranted. In the event a case meets just one of those criteria, an autopsy is performed.

"Tao recognizes that drugs, violence, and juvenile crime are problems," stated Renteria. "As Coroner, he will continue to implement prevention programs that lead to less body bags."

"Just like Tao, Robert Renteria believes in prevention over intervention," stated Fran Briggs, publicist to Renteria. "Tao Martinez recognizes drugs, violence, and crime by youth as a big problem in the county. He knows that preventing incidences is a strategic and necessary mandate to combat them."
