Committee continues discussion of cutting members from McHenry County Board

McHenry County Board members met this week to continue ongoing discussions about reducing the size of the board. The essence of the Tuesday night meeting came down to the biggest question of a debate that’s been brewing across the county for months. “What’s the magic number?” McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks asked, speaking in front of the county’s consolidation committee. To Franks, the board should be cut in half to 12 members. “I want to point out that even if we cut our size by half, the County Board will still be larger than the elected bodies of every municipality, every school board, every township, every special service district in the county,” Franks said.
