McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally is pushing for more local control over Department of Children and Family Services operations in the county. Kenneally wrote a letter addressing problems within DCFS, saying that the responsibility for protecting children in the community should fall to the community. State Rep. Steve Reick, R-Woodstock, recently was appointed to a task force dedicated to studying the compensation and workload of child welfare workers and what role those factors play in recruitment and retention of those workers.
