A McHenry County Statement of Economic Interests is on its way to becoming law. The Management Services Committee approved the proposed ordinance and it is to be presented to the full County Board for approval at the November 16 meeting.
The Ordinance has been in process for many months and as the Purpose and Intent states, "The provisions of this ordinance are to continue to ensure confidence to the residents of McHenry County . . . . in their elected and appointed public officials by creating an addendum to the Illinois Statement of Economic Interests which will provide for a more transparent government."
As explained, the ordinance is not intended to replace the provisions of the current state required "Disclosure of Economic Interests." Instead it is in addition to that which is already in place, but will require more information than is requested on the State form already in place. A completed form will be required of all candidates for public office in McHenry County and completed forms are to be filed with the County Clerk, as is the case with the state form.
