Bill Pysson

Former McHenry County resident Bill Pysson won a seat on the Boone County Board Tuesday as a Democrat.

Publisher of the Boone County Watchdog, Pysson won in the district just to the west of the McHenry-Boone County line.

With four to be elected in each district, Pysson placed fourth, edging out a Republican by 152 votes.

Pysson has locked horns with the local school district over various matters, even running for the school board unsuccessfully once.

Former State Rep. Ron Wait, who represented McHenry County in the 1980′s, also won election to the County Board from another district.

Found this little item on “Boone County Watchdog.”

How would you like to be a Boone County resident and read in a county management letter accompanying the annual audit:

“We noted the Collector held over $1 million in savings as of January 2009, which was after the final distribution related to the 2007 tax levy.

“At that point in time, Collector’s accounts should be minimal as distributions have been made for the prior levy and amounts are not being collected on the upcoming levy.

“We suggest the Collector why these large balances exist and determine who this money belongs to, whether it is the County, other taxing bodies, or the state as unclaimed property.”

That’s from the management letter to the Boone County Board. It was dated July 14, 2009.
