One day to Undersheriff

Did I miss an announcement about the new Undersheriff of McHenry County?

Won't anyone accept the job? Tomorrow is supposed to be Gene Lowery's first day on his new job as Deputy Chief at the Crystal Lake Police Department. This should mean that the Undersheriff's position at the McHenry County Sheriff's Department will be vacant?

Maybe he's not leaving the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. Will he hold both jobs? Not likely. Each is apparently a full-time job, with similar business hours. Monday-Friday. 8AM-5PM. Standard hour for lunch. Easy commute from Woodstock.

So who will be the new Undersheriff?

Or, with the economy as it is, will the position go unfilled?

That's not likely, since the sheriff's hotel rakes in $10,000,000/year and is a huge profit center. Plenty of bucks to pay $130,000 for a Number Two.

Is the new man to be congratulated (or offered sympathy)? He won't be yelled at for recommending approval any FOIA appeals, will he?

MCSD will need an Undersheriff. When Nygren is in Minocqua or Cape Coral, who will run the place?

After I wrote the above article, I read the following direct email to me,

"Look at Cal’s blog. The picture shows Nygren at the Republican meeting. With him is Dan Sedlock, the Chief of the Jail and VERY close friend of outgoing U/S Gene Lowery. Why would Dan Sedlock be hobnobbing with the Republicans, other than to be getting prepared to take over the Undersheriff position? I’ll bet you money…………. He’s been rumored to be the inside bet for weeks."
