Nygren is stepping down and he and
Bianchi are on opposite sides in the race for Nygren’s successor.
Republican Bill Prim, a retired Des
Plaines police commander, who lives in Cary, has Bianchi’s backing.
Undersheriff Andrew Zinke of Woodstock is endorsed by Nygren.
The sheriff’s and state’s attorney’s
offices need to cooperate. According to a news release from Republican
candidate for Sheriff, Bill Prim, “It is said the sheriff’s office also needs a
top to bottom overhaul.”
Bianchi suggests the best chance for
that is with Prim. He notes that the department is top-heavy and suggests
several positions could be trimmed to save more than $200,000.
Prim, endorsed by the Chicago Tribune,
says in response, “I am grateful for the Tribune’s support and appreciate their
confidence in my ability to conduct the overhaul that they and I both see as
being needed.
(This should NOT be taken as an endorsement from Town Crier as we are making no endorsements. Voters are urged to make their own decisions.Having worked in journalism -print and radio- locally and in Pennsylvania-- we feel it is the duty of the voter to decide on their own who to vote for.)
