McHenry County College is earning the title “Last Transparent Local Government.”
MCC is refusing to release the names of those who have filed for election to its Board of Trustees.
A simple request did not meet with a reply…as has been the case with every other location where people are filing for the spring elections.
Instead, a requirement was made for a Freedom of Information request.
So, I filed one.
Here’s the answer I received:
Hello, and thank you for your FOIA request, received by McHenry County College on Thursday, November 14. I will review your request and provide a response within the appropriate timeframe. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Christina Haggerty, FOIA Officer
State law gives local governments five business days to reply.
The end of filing for the board is Monday.
