Zinke's campaign address - good idea?

Shame on Google Maps. It's a good thing that I didn't want to drive over to Andy Zinke's campaign address on his registration form with the Illinois State Board of Elections. Google Maps placed it well south, actually in Algonquin, just south of Fantasy Festival. No joke! It did.

Where is 850 S. Ill. Rte. 31 in Crystal Lake? Right smack at RITA Corporation.

Is this really a good idea for Andy Zinke, who is the Undersheriff of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department? He's #2 there. working right under (the thumb of) Sheriff Keith Nygren.

What is the relationship between RITA Corporation and Keith Nygren? An officer (president?) of RITA Corporation, Brian Goode, has been a member of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department Merit Commission since August 2002. That's nine years.

There is no biographical information on the Merit Commission webpage (www.mchenrysheriff.org) about Brian Goode. His very large political contributions to Keith Nygren's campaigns over the years (possibly $50,000+) go unmentioned. Why is it that, in nine years, no biographical information has been published?

How independent of the political machine in McHenry County will Zinke be? Who is waving the baton over the orchestration of Nygren's departure from the office of sheriff and Zinke's appointment or election attempt?

Would Zinke be better advised to distance himself from Nygren's shadow? If that shadow (hello? Shadow, where are you?) darkens over the next few months, will that spell disaster for anyone walking in Nygren's footprints?

I don't know Andy Zinke. About the only thing about him that I do remember is that he claimed not to have received an email from me last September. Supposedly it went unread in his spam file. Aren't employees trained to examine their spam files to see whether there is email there that needs attention? I guess not. Oh, yes, and he didn't like my "outing" of an undercover car. Actually, I wasn't the one who did it; he did.
