Skinner skins the scoop

Looks like Cal Skinner was first out of the box with word that McHenry County isn't going to fight Zane Seipler and Blake Horwitz to recover fees and expenses in Zane's petition to get a special prosecutor to investigate Sheriff Keith Nygren.

The McHenry County Blog is reporting today that "The County Board is backing off on its attempts to get paid for Special Prosecutor Caldwell and the time Assistant State’s Attorneys spent on the case."

Presumably it would take County Board action to give Woodstock attorney William Caldwell a green light to commence what could become a lengthy and expensive (and possibly, embarrassing) legal adventure. When you start turning over rocks, you never know what worms may crawl out.

If Caldwell "advised" Board Chairman Ken Koehler to "forget it", then he gave him good advice.
