What training in Texas could Undersheriff Zinke possibly consider as essential to his final six months in authority at the McHenry County Sheriff's Department?
Special request to the County Administrator, to the County Auditor and to the County Board:
please address Responsibility with the undersheriff and with the sheriff, if you can find him, so that they don't totally drain MCSD and leave an empty shell on November 30, 2014, when they head off into the wild, blue yonder.
Can the public do anything to halt waste on unessential training at the conclusion of Nygren's too long of a period in office? Zinke said a while back that he has been running the office for three years. What has Nygren been doing in all that time? Working on his tan?

Please do not put that image of Nygren working on his tan in my head.
Why wouldn't Zinke still be at the Sheriff's Department in 6 months? Do you have info that either Prim or Harrison would plan on removing him? For Prim's part he has invited his former opponent and his supporters to join him and says they will be made to feel welcome. Do you have different info, or are you just assuming Prim isn't being genuine?
Obviously I have no knowledge of anything that Bill Prim is planning, and you know it. If you'd like to identify yourself, we could have an interesting conversation about your assumption that "Prim isn't being genuine."
Even if Zinke is removed as the US, what makes you think he's going anywhere but back to work at his previous rank, which I believe was as an Lt.
What makes you think Zinke will want to stay? Playing second or third fiddle won't be any fun.
Fun has nothing to go with it. It's his job, and he is ans was very good at it, contrary to what you and others may think it say. If Prim wants him gone, I'd make him force me out. Just because you and others don't understand real police operations but rely on unhappy officers telling you their version if how and why does not make it wrong. His training wherever it is, probably was scheduled way in advance of the past primary. To assume it is wasted on Zinke is poor thinking, more like more limited knowledge on your part.
Sorry Gus- last post sounded mean. I just think your style of. "Reporting " reminds me of " the sun is coming up and it appears to be chasing the moon away. What does the sun have against the moon?" Jumping to unfounded conclusions, in my eye.
Thanks, Jim Jones. I appreciated your note. Could be that everyone, including me, is a little fried right now.
In the years that I've been writing this blog, I've not thought of it so much as "reporting" as expressing my own opinions. I recognize that some readers will disagree and some will agree. And many will remain silent.
I'd love for there to be more comments. I understand why there aren't.
Thanks for reading and for commenting.
First of all, Zinke is not going to be the Under Sheriff if Bill Prim wins the next election. Zinke will be allowed to stay on as Curious said, just not as the Under Sheriff, probably as a Lt. if that was his previous rank. Now if Zinke intends to stay on as a Lt., then fine, he should go ahead with the training. If not, he is simply padding his resume at McHenry County taxpayer expense.
Big Daddy ; you KNOW this how? Mr. Prim has said this when? To whom? You know nothing. You ASSUME because you too believe and listen to the complainers. Smart people wait for facts and proof. Probably a good assumption tho. New management usually SLOWLY changes their underlings after LEARNING the reality if the position and it's problems for theirselves, instead of listening to a bunch of cry babies.
If I were elected Sheriff, I would move Zinke out from the Undersheriff position on December 1. It would be my second act in office. Why?
1. Zinke spoiled a DEA investigation when he revealed it to Brian Goode;
2. Zinke's loose "finger" to Cal Skinner in the Crystal Lake 4th of July parade; and
3. Zinke's failure to activate MIAT on June 7, 2011, for the triple homicide near Marengo.
Actually I listen to no one other than those who would know. Which does not include a bunch of cops who whine about their lot in life, their boss or anything else. Now if you can read between the lines, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who told me this.
The late Bill Oncken, Sr. (1912-1988), well-known for his popular Harvard Business Review article, "The One-Minute Manager Meets the Monkey", and his speech about it, had some interesting things to say about what you find, when you read between the lines.
He also thought that, if a subordinate sent a memo to his manager, the manager should call in the sub and have him read the memo to him. He figured that half the memo was B.S., and the only person who knew which half was the person who wrote it.
