Early favorite Cameron Hubbard was passed over in favor of fellow Crystal Lake City Councilman Jeff Thorsen for the McHenry County Board seat vacated by Ken Koehler.
Early in Tuesday’s meeting, McHenry County Board Chairman announced that he was nominating Thorsen for the District 2 post.
Koehler had to resign his County Board seat in order to accept the appointment by Gottemoller to the Metra Board.
When the roll was called, the vote was 21-2.
Voting against Thorsen was Mary McCann and Don Kopsell.
McCann is up for re-election this year.
Her voting record should be the primary issue.
Congrats Mr. Thorsen! He’s a good man for the job.
Jeff is great pick by Joe G and the whole Board.
Jeff voted against the CL sales tax increase several years ago, let’s hope he will continue to work in favor of the taxpayer.
His record says he will.
A pleasant surprise, to say the least.
Great to have Jeff Thorsen on the Board.
Congrats Mr. Thorsen.
Jeff Thorsen will serve the taxpayers of McHenry County well! Great choice!
