MCSD Merit Commission - canceled Again!

What's going on with the McHenry County Sheriff's Department Merit Commission?

Nothing.

The April Regular Meeting has been canceled. It was set for April 11 at 9:30AM, and it has already been canceled.

The March meeting was canceled.
The February meeting was held.
The January meeting was canceled.
The December 2012 meeting was canceled
The November meeting was canceled.
The October meeting was canceled.
A September meeting was held.

One of the functions of the Merit Commission is to approve payment of bills. If they don't meet month after month, does this mean that some bills are not being paid?

More importantly, it appears that Sheriff Nygren has abandoned the Merit Commission on the Greg Pyle termination. Does he have that choice?

Aren't the rules, the Rules? If firings and resignations are to go to the Merit Commission, then why isn't Nygren taking a very important, high-profile termination to the public body that is supposed to represent the taxpayers and voters of McHenry County?

The Merit Commission is not Nygren's private, little, five-man (well, five-person) ball team. Somebody changed its mission a while back, apparently without even informing the members. The wording about "the public" came out of the Purpose of the Merit Commission.

And no one asking who took the words out. It's time for the County Board and the Law & Justice Committee to start paying more attention to the Merit Commission.
