Driving the wagon

Yesterday I received a nice call, thanking me for saying what needs to be said in McHenry County. You're welcome. My fax is on now, so keep sending me the "good stuff."

The following email was received from yet one more disgrunted deputy. Why would a deputy be disgruntled, instead of being an employee satisfied with conditions at the workplace?

"I know a deputy his name is Ed. Ed is the kind of guy you would want backing you up on pretty much anything. There is a problem with Ed though, he's in exile. Ed has been reduced to driving a van that resembles a ice cream truck with the Sheriff's Department logo on the side. Why was Ed exiled? Ed spoke his mind. Ed was honest. Ed wouldn't be bullied. Ed told a certain Under Sheriff that he would never be the leader that a man named Ron Salgado is. Ed spoke his mind at other times too. Ed was absolutely right and no one cares about that. When you see Ed driving by in the Sheriff's ice cream truck give him a wave and think...I could have been safer if Ed was in a squad car.

"Did you know there are certain State's Attorney investigators that are not allowed to enter the Sheriff's Department confines at the courthouse. The Sheriff has banned these investigators for various reasons. Mainly because they are ex-deputies that wouldn't be bullied."

In order for undersheriff Lowery to be a better man than Salgado he would have to become a man first. Lowery should drive the "ice cream truck", he has more licking experience. Deputy Ed intimidates Lowery because he has a set and Lowery needs to feel he has some power over him.

The states attorney needs to tell Nygren and Lowery to stay out of his department.That nonsense can work both ways. I sure hope somebody runs against Nygren next election, the county bully needs to go.
