$180,000+ fighting Seipler???

I was just thinking of shutting down the computer for the night (well, errr.... morning) and checked in at www.mchenrycountyblog.com/ for a final peek. It was worth it!

Cal Skinner reports that Sheriff Nygren has blown more than $180,000 (so far) fighting Zane Seipler!

In response to a FOIA request, Cal learned that "As of April 7, 2010, McHenry County has been billed $180,410.48 for outside legal counsel services related to legal actions regarding Zane Seipler."

And the fight's not over yet!

Zane won his arbitration hearing, but Nygren didn't like the arbitrator's decision and is appealing it.

And Zane has a major civil rights lawsuit going against Nygren and MCSD. He was smart to go out-of-county for his legal counsel, and he retained Chicago attorney Blake Horwitz. Haven't heard of Blake? Check out www.police-watchers.com Frankly, I liked Blake's old website better. It was more in-your-face about the $28,000,000 award he won in Regalado v. City of Chicago, et. al.
