WOODSTOCK – The election of nine new McHenry County Board members forced an overhaul of its committee memberships.

All but one of the 11 standing committees in which most of county government’s work gets done have new chairmen, and three of those chairmen are newly elected members.

Each seven-member committee has at least one member from each of the County Board’s six districts. In the case of the five-member Liquor and License Committee, District 5 is in essence represented by Chairwoman Tina Hill, R-Woodstock, because the chairwoman also acts as county liquor commissioner.
