McHenry County College Becomes More Transparent
At Monday's Committee of the Whole meeting, the McHenry County College Board considered a proposal by Trustee Scott Summers to put the already computerized board packets on the internet.
Available electronically previously only the those on the board and MCC employees, now the people who elect the board and pay the employees' salaries can find out what the board is going to do to or for them before tonight's 7 PM meeting.
You can even read the second version of the feasibility study by Economics Research Associates, dated February 2.
Having examined this in some detail, my hope and advice is that the college board not repeat its past practice of not letting anyone ask questions about the report and the commitment of twenty years of tax dollars before proceeding further.
Oh, I forgot.
The board has allowed people to ask questions in the public comment period.
They just won't give any answers.
