After he won the election but before he took his oath of office, Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Andrew Gasser consulted paving magnate Gary Rabine to rate the roads. For free, an employee of the Rabine Group – a multimillion-dollar company known for its work in roofing, snow removal and paving – drove township roads gathering data with a 360-degree camera to condense into a report for Gasser before his first day in office. A Northwest Herald investigation revealed that Gasser intended to privatize parts of the Algonquin Township Highway Department, but the unionization of his employees derailed his plans. “I would love to have it so the road district guys maintain drainage and the snowplowing and allow the paving to be outsourced,” Gasser told the Northwest Herald.
