" I agree, he should have been gone a long time ago. He's good at one thing, that's for sure: making sure that he participates in the good ol boy's club. Sorensen will not be any better but if the good ol boy's club works like I think - we'll have no say in that matter. They make their decisions behind closed doors before ever truly representing us, the taxpayers. We have some good representatives on the board - mostly Democrats and a few Republicans. Before you jump down my throat - no, I'm not a Democrat - I'm a Republican. Some good ladies and men out there - consider running for county board. We need TRUE representation. "

" Mr. Douglas E Williams -- don't be so quick to accuse others of not stepping up to the plate. I've served my nation of a federal level, I've served my state of a state level, I've served my county on a county level -- and even to this day I actively serve my local government on a local level. I've known of Mike Sweeney for almost 40 years -- and have followed his public service for many of those years -- and well reserve the right to say "There is little representation of the rural area on the County Board" -- and that includes Mr. Sweeney. "

" You couldnt have said it any better...all he has done is "give" for how many years? Yeah, and all these lousy pollsters can think of is deceit, lying, and stealing...Wonderful way to respond to a good public citizen. Now go play with your tinker toys....Congratulations Mike. Well done! "

" the good things he has done, allowed thousands of acres of great farm land to be turned into subdivisions. hundreds of acres to be turned into a car plant that is slowly axing employees and closing. could not figure out where to put in the un-needed east side bypass. has allowed police protection throughout the county to be reduced to little of nothing at night. and the list goes on and on and on!! "

" Oh yes..you as well Taxpayer. "

" Mike Sweeney is a devoted and selfless public servant who has DONATED thousands of hours to help make McLean County a better place. When one has the 'nads to step into the arena and lead there will always be criticism--no matter what one does ,or doesn't, do. But he put himself out there for the public good and this is what he gets? I would like to see the courageous Devil's Advocate, Tired and Ol Geezer step up to the plate and do one tenth of one per cent as much good as Mike Sweeney has done. "

" Looks like 'business as usual - patting ourselves on the back claiming to respresent the county. Still just city folks passing themselves off as representatives of the county. It sure would be nice to actually have rural representation on the 'City Board' -- oops I mean 'County Board'. "

" MAYBE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR HIM TO TAKE FROM THE COUNTY. I HOPE THAT THEY INVESTIGATE AND CHECK HIM BEFORE HE STEPS DOWN. HE PROBABLY HAS THE BLAGO SYNDROM "

" It's about time - he should have been gone a long time ago!!! "

" That law suit will only make a lawyer some cash flow and get no other place. "

" I hope the board comes up with someone else to replace Sweeny as the Chairmen other than Sorensen. I can find nothing that Sorensen has done for the area that he represents. Sorensen only does what his big employeer asks him to do. That is go set in the meetings and cover their assets in the area. We need someone on the board that really cares about McLean County and not their own personnel neeeds or wants. "

" This wouldn't have anything to do with the way the County Board handled the White Oak Wind Factory zoning approval? And that they are getting sued for the inapropriate manner in which it was railroaded through? "
