This will be the biggest show in McHenry County, so, if you are free, drive to Woodstock and watch the action. The meeting will be in the County Board room, which is located in the Administrative Center north of the County Jail.
So voters had to learn from the Northwest Herald, not the County itself, when Jack Franks will take his oath of office as the inaugural voter elected McHenry County Board Chair.
The McHenry County Administration Building is on the north side of Ware Road and the east side of State Route 47 (Seminary Avenue).
The address for the Administration Building is 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

Exactly how do you think the County lets people know other than releasing a press release?
That is just a stupid statement.
I’d come, but my cardiologist told me that if I got really upset about anything, my new heart valves might blow.
With the sinister Lyin’ Jacko-Jackal at the County helm, prancing around, I’m sure my blood pressure would explode.
The County did not issue a press release regarding Jack Franks taking the Oath of office.
The most recent County Board press release is dated October 7, 2016.
Kevin Craver of the Northwest Herald made no mention of a press release in its article.

Jack Franks’ father is Herb Franks.
Herb Franks was a Chicago Democrat Precinct Committeeman in the early 1950’s while he attended Roosevelt University.

At the time Herb Franks was dating a Ward Committeeman’s daughter.
So the Franks family has a connection to Chicago Cook County Democrats going back to the 1950’s.
Flash forward 60 years, and McHenry County has a Democrat County Board Chair, from a family that has experience in the Chicago Cook County Democrat system.
Mark,
Who do you work for that they pay you to post comments on a blog all day or are you just a free loading public sector worker as well?
Jack Franks has a connection to the Chicago Cook County Democrat machine going back 60 years through his father, Herb Franks, a former Chicago Cook County Democrat precinct committeeman.
Jack Franks PACs have received lots of political contributions from Chicago Cook County Democrats.
Democrat Jack Franks is now the McHenry County Board Chair.
There are no precinct committeemen in Cook County.
There the people who work precincts are called “captains.”
The only partisan offices that are elective at ward and township committeemen.
So People just don’t pay him!
“‘I had decided that (milking cows) was not for me, so I attended Roosevelt College in Chicago and because I was dating a ward committeeman’s daughter, I was made a Democratic precinct committeeman,’ he says.”

So Herb Franks was a suburban precinct committeeman?
Or there were precinct committeeman in Chicago in the early 1950’s?
Or he misquoted his job title?
I agree with Moderate.
Mark I hope that you don’t write all your opinions and comments on County time.
I don’t think everyone thinks your comments are gold
Probably just a misquote.
The Franks family has a history of working with the Democrat machine in Illinois politics.

So apparently Herb Franks (the father of Jack Franks) was a Democrat Precinct Captain (not a Precinct Committeeman) in Chicago in the early 1950’s.
