Bill Ruhl Explains His McHenry County Sheriff Employment

The following comment was posted under the article entitled, “Franklin Park Connection to McHenry County?

Willaim Ruhl payroll records for his 2010 work on Sheriff's Marine Unit.

Imagine my surprize when I found this blog forwarded to me and found I was a topic of conversation.

To keep matters straight, I worked part time during the summer of 2010 on the McHenry County Marine Unit.

As a recently retired Police Officer and avid boater I fit the criteria needed for this unit. In 2009 I ran for mayor of franklin park under the party name of the Independent Citizens Action Party, and was defeated.

In 2010 I began my campaign to run for a seat on the Franklin Park Village Board, using the party name of Independent Tea Party.

When I started the campaign I was still working for the Marine unit and was advised to list this on my ecomnomic interest form, which is why it shows me as a McHenry County Deputy.

I won the election and am now a Trustee on the Franklin Park Village board.

I met Sheriff Nygren once, when I was hired.

The connection between myself and Sheriff Nygren is I worked on his Marine Unit from June to October 2010.

The funds listed above are monies I transfered from my personel account to pay for my Tea Party Campaign.

I hope this clears up any questions anyone may have about background with Mchenry County, but if anyone does have questions please contact me at williamruhl@msn.com.

  1. Hmmm..payment every two weeks on cue over the warm weather months…Surprised the conspiracy crowd didn’t manage to surmise how well this fit with part time seasonal employee. Guess this isn’t the red herring-prima fascia evidence of wrong doing!!! Oh my, how does that crow taste?

  2. I don’t understand why Bill lists his profession as McHenry County Sheriff in 2011 if he’s retired and worked there part time in 2010 but not in 2011. But good luck to him in Franklin Park.
