Keith Nygren
Bob Schlenkert
Remember the McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy who just got ordered re-instated?
His name is Bob Schlenkert and the story about his appellate court decision is here.
The missing part of the story is how much it cost.
$16,943.20 was paid for legal fees and expenses to Ottosen, Britz, Kelly, Cooper from 3/9 through 2/10.
Bills have been sent to Travelers Insurance for payments made through last Thanksgiving, but no reimbursement is expected because the county is self-insured, that is, taxpayers pay the bill, unless it exceeds $250,000.
Here's the bill so far for the appeal of Judge Maureen McIntyre's ruling that Sheriff's Deputy Bob Schlenkert be reinstated. Click to enlarge.
The bill for the Appellate Court part of the case has not yet been bsubmitted.
It appears that the approximately $300,000 in back salary and interest owed Schlenkert will dwarf the legal fees to defend Sheriff Keith Nygren’s appeal of Judge Maureen McIntyre’s court decision.
Hello? “SCHLENKERT V COUTNY”???
Do some more checking. I believe there is a lot more $$ involved.
Shouldn’t Schlenkert have to pay back all the disability pay he has been receiving?
It’s not like he has not been receiving a check. The sad fact is the guy hasn’t done an honest days work in 17 years and has played the system like a concert violin.
Why hasn’t someone done a FOIA on his employment history? Why hasn’t some news source reported how he has use every day of sick time and then takes unpaid days off on top of that? Why hasn’t someone reported that he has been suspended for more disciplinary issues than any other deputy in department history? (Not counting this last episode)
Hopefully the Sheriff can find some place for him to work where he is not responding to calls and blowing off the public and loafing on the county dime.
Justin, a lot of bad info from you. If he did not do an honest days work for 17 years, that says something about his boss.
Aren’t you the basher that also goes by Just and Just Asking. Same kind of rhetoric. Been passing up your comments along with Allen on the NWH. Not worth reading.
