Date Set for Zane Seipler, Keith Nygren Settlement Conference — 8 Comments

  1. Nothing here but “who,what,where,why, when” requests of the judge,obviously looking for a pre- case management case management.

    No shock here.

    MCSO isn’t going to roll over, any more so than Zane.

    Boring.

  2. I didn’t start laughing until I got to this Point.

    “10. Whether the parties believe a settlement conference at this time has a reasonable likelihood of reaching a resolution. If the parties do not believe a settlement conference is reasonably likely to reach a resolution, the parties must state the specific reasons for that belief; …”

    The Nygren gang will offer $1.00 and want to bargain down from there.

  3. ‘AZsupporter” The County should pay up.. The truth is Zane should have never been fired, he should have never had to fight this case in Federal court.

    Clearly, the case represents just one more of Nygren’s infamous temper tantrums….

    That is exactly one of the reasons we worked so hard to get rid of Stinky Zinke.

    Enough, is enough and it’s time to pay Zane and let the healing begin for the communities of McHenry County affected by politics….

    “AZ” you have some towels with initials on them for your older kids to attend to.

    Frankly, your time would be better served there.

  4. Settle on the facts being revealed.

    That’s the only settlement that should happen.

  5. Dum Dum, I have just as much time to read to your stupid posts as I do believing a court verified fraud like him.

    Notice he didn’t win either and has zero credibility with the normal thinking sane people.

  6. “AZsupporter” You just turn that finger right around you dumb dumb..

    You son;t even know how to spell..

  7. Will Sheriff Nygren have to leave his warm roost in FL to attend?
