McHenry County Candidates disclose land holdings under proposed ordinance

Eleven candidates running in the Feb. 2 primary have filled out and released disclosure statements under the proposed ordinance drafted by the Alliance for Land, Agriculture and Water. The ordinance means to improve existing disclosure laws to require elected officials to list all real-estate holdings in county limits.

McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office identified several problems with the proposed ordinance….Chief among the office’s concerns were the penalties proposed for violating  ….. County boards are not empowered under state law to make ordinance violations subject to misdemeanors or felonies.
