We aren’t exactly sure how this came about, but at a recent board meeting, the board stated that Manager Rooney had abandoned his position, cleaned out his office (we’ve heard through our sources – with the help from employees who did not know why) and had not returned to work. They further pointed out that […]

Some time ago, we covered several complaints against the Village Manager. One of them was a complaint from former HR Director Linda Mogren. In case my readers have forgotten, you can see the investigation materials here. INVESTIGATION.
