Taxpayers in McHenry County are footing the $145,000/year bill for a Sheriff of the County. His name is Keith Nygren, who was re-elected in November 2010.
This morning's paper carries a front-page article about the murder of a Pistakee Highlands woman yesterday. The name of Undersheriff Andy Zinke is mentioned a couple of times.
Where is Sheriff Keith Nygren? Why isn't the top elected law-enforcement official of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department out in front on this?
Is he even in McHenry County? Or is he closing up his Minocqua, Wisconsin home for the winter? Or is he checking the heating system in his Cape Ccral, Florida home, in preparation for the wintry months ahead?
What other county sheriff owns over $1,000,000 (at the time of purchase) in residential, owner-occupied homes?
Somebody told me a while back that an elected official has to work only one day a year. Whether or not that is correct, the taxpayers should be demanding a fair work schedule for $145,000/year. His vacation package should be about ten days, since he has only about 13-14 years of service as Sheriff. Nygren shouldn't get, take or claim "credit" for past years of work with other agencies.
How many days in a year is he really away from the office on personal time? Thirty days? Sixty? Ninety? More?

I think he's setting up Zinke to take over for him cuz he may retire. If he retires, the 2nd in command would take over until the next election, right?
Heck, if you were on me as much as you are on Nygren, I'd throw myself off the top of a building. And hopefully the building owner would want a swimming pool, cuz the crater I'd leave with my fat girth would be Olympic-size! DOH!
Read the paper and see which police official is generally quoted in most investigations. Typically it’s the Deputy Chief or Commander. (Rarely the Chief)
Before Zinke it was Lowery or the Captain now Commander. I notice Lowery as Crystal Lake Deputy Chief is the one always quoted and the same in Algonquin, McHenry and Woodstock. Did you see Lowen’s name in the paper for the armed robbery? You just like to slam the Sheriff.
