Tribune assails Nygren

Be sure to read last week's articles in the Chicago Tribune about Sheriff Keith Nygren, as he tries to dance around the issue of whether a parade is a political event.

Nygren has paid overtime to the department's garage guy to drive him in parades in a non-Department vehicle. Maybe McHenry County should buy a sporty convertible for Nygren? And maybe somebody ought to explain seatbelt rules to Nygren. It'd be a shame if a deputy or a police officer pulled the vehicle out of the parade and wrote Nygren a ticket for riding unbuckled. Would he also write the driver for operating the vehicle with a passenger seating on the top of the back seat (and trunk lid or convertible-top cover)?

Here's one of the articles: www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-mchenry-parades-20101007,0,5851199.story
