Seipler tops Nygren in court

Zane Seipler is one step closer to getting his job back.

I was in Judge Meyer's courtroom with Zane this morning to hear the decision, but Judge Meyer didn't release it then.

So I got to read about it, like many, in the Northwest Herald. Judge Meyer decided in Zane's favor, saying the arbitrator made the right decision and made it the right way. Thanks to the reader in western Illinois who tipped me off to the article in the paper.

What's next?

With virtually unlimited taxpayer dollars at his beck and call, Nygren will probably appeal to the Second District Appellate Court, where the judges are probably already licking their chops and waiting for the paperwork. They didn't waste much time on the last decision involving Nygren and a weak position.

The reporter said Nygren was not available for comment. Well, Jill, call him on his cell phone.

Zane has got two years' pay coming now. Thanks, Keith. Seipler could have been working and earning his pay that you will now have to give him. Plus it cost the taxpayers a bundle for your out-of-house lawyer.

Maybe the taxpayers will show their gratitude for that waste on November 2.

What's that famous phrase? It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog.
