As foreshadowed on McHenry County Blog on January 23, 2008, the Crystal Lake Park District appointed Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commissioner Angel Collins to fill the vacancy created when Dave Phelps resigned.

She was the next highest vote getter in last spring’s election, so her appointment is entirely logical. You can read some of her views on the park district in this article on the board’s candidates’ night. More views here.

Collins voted with the entire rest of the Zoning Commission to reject McHenry County College’s baseball stadium, which will raise its ugly head again on Tuesday night at MCC when a second and inadequate 3rd party review of the baseball promoters’ numbers will be presented at 6 PM.

Thanks to the Northwest Herald’s Jim Butts for going to the meeting and reporting what happened before I went to bed.

Other applicants were Rich Jackson, wife of just slated McHenry County District 2 Democratic Party candidate Jill Mawhinney, Jack Heisler and Jim Austin.
