McHenry County Blog

Yesterday, I wrote about the disposition of the $3,200 left in former McHenry County Board member Rich Klasen’s campaign fund.

In 2000 he told the State Board of Elections he wanted anything left over to go to the Marengo Area Schools Foundation.

I left a message for his Republican Party running mate Mary McCann, who volunteered to clean up the loose ends after his untimely death, but it ended up on her business phone and wasn’t found until today.

“They will probably write the check at the end of this week or the end of next week,” McCann told me.

The amount: $3,242.24, unless the State Board of Elections levies a fine for not having filed a pre-election report.

A check will be written to the Marengo Schools Education Foundation.

McCann told me there would be some publicity at that point.
