NWH endorses ineligible candidate?

Did the Northwest Herald endorse a candidate for public office who actually was not eligible to file papers to run for re-election?

Is Keith Nygren really a Florida resident and therefore ineligible to run for the office of sheriff now? When his wife became a Florida resident and filed for the homestead exemption on THEIR Florida home in Cape Coral in 2006, did Keith lose his McHenry County residency?

Would an honest person claim homestead exemption in two states? When caught in the act, the Nygrens quickly gave up their homestead exemption on their Hebron home. That quick decision added support to the position that Keith Nygren is NOT a McHenry County resident.

How easy for the Northwest Herald to "overlook" basic factors of honesty and integrity in a candidate!

The McHenry County Clerk says that I'm too late to challenge Keith Nygren's eligibility to run. It had to be initiated by November 9, 2009 (months before it became public knowledge).

The Illinois Attorney General said to go to the Illinois State Board of Elections and to the McHenry County State's Attorney.

The Board of Elections has already told me, "The State Board of Elections does not have any authority over ballot access as to officers at the county or local level."

But there is a legal route open, should Nygren win the sheriff's race, as a quo warranto action.

Will voters recognize exactly the type of man who holds the office now and give him the boot?
