The new McLean County Board leadership team is in place, Chair John McIntyre and Vice Chair Jim Soeldner. A vote followed the resignation of Chair Matt Sorensen from the board. Sorensen said he needed to avoid distracting the board from his legal troubles. Sorensen faces a five count federal fraud indictment over an alleged false billing scheme that victimized State Farm Insurance.
The Board will rule next month on John McIntyre's choice to fill Sorensen's District two seat. The board's Executive Committee will hear presentations in early February from at least the four people who have filed to run write in campaign's in the March GOP Primary election. The appointee would remain in office until the November election.
