Similar meeting dispute in DeKalb County
State’s attorney warns board about violation
ROCK FALLS – The Whiteside County Board’s Democratic majority recently held a private, unannounced meeting that watchdog groups called illegal.
Officials, including the county administrator, say the board broke no law. And the former state’s attorney apparently advised members it was fine.
Last week, a somewhat similar situation happened in DeKalb County, but in that case, the state’s attorney warned his county board not to separate into party caucuses, saying it would violate the law.
