The Northwest Herald seems to be trying a mini-recreation of its citizen advisory committee of years past, except this time only one person is wanted.
That person will serve a six month term on the NW Herald’s editorial board.
That’s what I read at my in-laws’ hone in a column by Brian Slupski.
I wouldn’t expect to be selected, but I find I’m even ineligible to apply.
On three counts;
(1) We will not accept applicants who are… former elected officials,
(2) We will not accept applicants who actively work for a political party as a precinct captain (precinct captains are in Cook County; McHenry County has precinct committeemen), and
(3) We will not accept members of the media…This includes bloggers and freelance writers.
One would have been enough.
Anyway, I am sure there are lots of McHenry County Blog readers who hold strong opinions who would do a wonderful job bringing the NW Herald’s editorial board back to a McHenry County perspective.
So, I encourage readers to apply.
And keep notes.
I’ll bet that after your six month term is up, the deliberations would make a great article or two.
