Through the efforts of a local citizen’s Freedom of Information request, McHenry County Blog has learned that one of the Lake in the Hills village officials who attended the Illinois Municipal League Conference in Chicago has reimbursed taxpayers for the expense.
Trustee Ray Bogdanowski, a Board member since 2001, paid his own way.

The cost of his attendance was $701.40.
Using his credit card cost him an extra $16.48.
The issue arose when the Daily Herald listed amounts various municipalities spent on the annual convention.
Also attending the event were Village President Russ Ruzanski, Clerk Crystal Ulen, Trustees Bob Huckus, Steve Harlfinger, Suzanne Artinghelli, David McPhee, plus Administrator Jennifer Clough and Assistant Administrator Shane Johnson.
Well that is impressive..Now for everyone else too.
Reason #5681 to leave McHenry County and Illinois!
Ray has single handedly raised the Illinois Political Integrity score by 0.0001 percent.
Well done!
Thanks, Ray, for showing some class. To serve, rather than be served.
