Kane sheriff, non-union staff: Were furloughs legal?

image The Kane County sheriff and non-union staff have asked the Attorney General's office to review the County Board's decision last month to furlough 26 sheriff's employees.

Furloughed staff includes the management, except for the sheriff, and civilian staffers in both the sheriff's office and corrections. Perez, who had struggled for months with the board over needed cuts to his budget, said the move to furloughs instead of layoffs was preferred by the staff.

Perez declined to comment on what exactly his legal concerns are.
