Northwest Herald doesn't report Ill. Supreme Court filing

The last time Sheriff Keith Nygren's name shows up in the Northwest Herald from a search is October 20.

According to www.FirstElectricNewspaper.com Zane Seipler says that Nygren filed an appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court involving his termination from the sheriff's department.

FEN said, "Seipler said Illinois Fraternal Order of Police attorney John Roche received notice of the filing Friday." That would have been October 28. That would seem to rate a line or two in the Northwest Herald, don't you think?

So, if the FOP attorney received notice, was it Notice that the appeal would be filed or was it Notice that the appeal had been filed?

Is Nygren's attorney playing with fire by waiting until the last minute to file an appeal?

Will the judges on the Illinois Supreme Court take one look at the appeal, have a good laugh, and kick it out? FEN reports that the Illinois Supreme Court only takes about 5% of the cases submitted. Not very good odds for Nygren. His odds are probably better in the casino nearest to Minocqua.

That rag of a paper should just call themselves The Northwest Nygren, or The Nygren Herald. At least they'd be more honest.
When the hell are McHenry County citizens going to get fed up and tell this egomaniac Nygren to quit using our hard EARNED money as his personal unending roll of toilet paper? The lack of anger, and the complete apathy of taxpayers is something I'll never understand.
