Round 3 Nygren v. Seipler - March

Zane Seipler reports that he called the Appellate Court in Elgin to learn the court date for the next round of catcalls and mud-slinging in the battle of David versus Goliath, and Zane has to wait until March for his case to be heard.

I don't know what Zane earns, but let's say it's $6,000/month. The County already owes him over two years of back pay ($144,000), and now another $24,000 will be tacked on, plus even more while the judges decide. And then even more while Nygren (or his successor by then) dilly-dallies, looking for a new ribbon for the calculator so that the right amount can finally be calculated and paid out.

Speaking of dilly-dallying, the Sheriff's accounting office hasn't yet figured out how much is owed to Bob Schlenkert, who returned to work a while back. They probably knew it to the penny on the date of the judges' decision, and they would know it through today. Why isn't he paying Schlenkert?

Schlenkert's lawyer should have asked the court to order payment within 14 days of back wages, but he or she didn't. Hopefully, Zane's lawyer will call the judges' attention to the slow-paying sheriff and ask the judges to put the sheriff on a short leash for payment.
