That’s what Pioneer Press’ Algonquin Countryside and Cary-Grove News headlined it editorial last Thursday.

“College officials clearly overreacted in their zeal to keep information under wraps,” is one line of the opinion piece.

Literally “under wraps,” yellow plastic here, to be specific, as you can see from the photo I took that night before we were unceremoniously escorted out of the building under threat of being charged with trespassing.

The editorial goes on to point out that this was not the first time McHenry County College has kept things secret that they should not have. It points to the feasibility study that was released in November eight months after (McHenry County Blog’s) revelation of the proposed baseball stadium.

And, then, the feasibility study had the most important parts cross through with thick black lines.

My March, 2007, story was six months after I can find the first paper trail for the baseball stadium.

I would point out that these masters and mistresses of mystery are currently hiding what they are doing with John Maguire concerning a lease and a broadcast tower.

It was my taking photos of information being presented inside the room that set MCC President Walt Packard into using first his body and, then, our American flag as drapery over the window to hide what was going on inside.

You can enlarge any of the images. The head behind the American flag is that of MCC President Walt Packard. The head in front of the power point slide is also Packard’s.
