McHenry County Board and Commission Vacancies — 5 Comments

  1. Do you think that there are any openings on The Ethics Commission ?

    I hear they could use some help with their decisions !

    Please send me an application if an appointment becomes available.

  2. Hey Happy – those are probably all hand picked by Nygren; you’ll have to call him
    If you can find him.

  3. The tuberculosis board should be disbanded.

    TB can be included with other infectious diseases.

    The idea that a separate board needs to be filled seems to be an antiquated law on the county books.

    I’m not surprised that they can’t fill the position – a physician is required.

    Any physician knows it’s a waste of time.

  4. Hey HadEnough..

    I don’t think Nygren will be able to pick anything from a jail cell when the Feds get through with him.

    Maybe even Zinke.
