Patricia Kennedy, Green Team Member and President of ALAW, speaks to the McHenry County Planning Commission

My concern this evening arises from what we all saw and heard at your meeting last week. We have observed this before, but it was particularly obvious last week.

Especially considering the document that you are creating, as a tax paying and voting citizen, I request that each of you be Very up front in disclosing any and all connections, holdings or property interests which you may represent. And if you have any doubt in regard to those issues, that you err on the side of recusing yourself.

If you talk in specifics about one property owner's opinions and desires you would, of course, need to do that for every property owner and that certainly is not appropriate.

We have been sitting here watching you do a parcel by parcel Land Use Plan Map. That is Totally incorrect planning procedure. You have been told by staff on several occasions that you are using an incorrect procedure and still you persist. If you continue in this manner you have certainly found a unique way to destroy the credibility of this Plan and its Map.

It will be interesting to see which direction you decide to take.


Thank you for this opportunity to speak to you.

  1. Of course, the credibility of the plan and the maps is already highly questionable!
