MCSD making Chicago news

Rumor has it that WGN-TV (Channel 9) and the Chicago Tribune will be featuring the McHenry County Sheriff's Department on either the Friday night or Saturday night news at 9:00PM.

Gee, what kind of "special report" could they be planning?

WGN-TV (Channel 9 in Chicago) reporter Mark Suppelsa was in Woodstock recently, and one of the people he interviewed was Zane Seipler. Zane is involved in three legal cases with the Sheriff's Department.

He's fighting to get his job back. He has won twice, yet Sheriff Nygren refuses to put him back to work, running up thousands of dollars in his fight to keep from taking Zane back. The case is now in the Appellate Court in Elgin.

In a second case Zane has asked McHenry Court Judge Meyer for a special prosecutor to investigate Nygren. Judge Meyer is trying hard to keep the case alive. Unfortunately, the pressure may be on in McHenry County now to avoid special prosecutors, since both sides of the Bianchi case are likely to cost the taxpayers a total of $750,000-$1,000,000.

The third case is Zane's civil rights case in Federal Court in Rockford against the Sheriff's Department for wrongful termination.

The Chicago Tribune Bulldog (late edition on news stands Saturday night and home delivery on Sunday) is expected to carry a special report on MCSD. Be sure to get the Tribune this week-end.

Could be a good week-end for certain people to be out of town (which they are).
