The Woodstock Independent (TWI) is on top of the story of the week about the dismissal of a significant drug arrest in Woodstock. Check out this week's stories (that's plural) at www.thewoodstockindependent.com
Woodstock is on the short end of the stick in a Federal law suit over this arrest, and a 18-year Woodstock cop has resigned.

You'd expect an investigative newspaper reporter would be all over this. Oh, right; I remember. There is no investigative newspaper reporter in McHenry County.
Are there any real "investigative reporters " anywhere anymore Gus? I haven't seen one in ages. Anywhere.
