To the Editor:

As a longtime observer of Kane County government, I can say with surety that – as long as I’ve been observing the board – sitting board members have always been allowed to fully participate in Executive Committee discussions. Although some recent board members have exercised that right to the point of being reliably tedious, it was their right nonetheless. 

Under the current committee structure, Executive Committee is the singular place board members can learn about and – if necessary – question the full workings of the board.
