WOODSTOCK – No furniture was broken, punches thrown or authorities called when McHenry County Board members and state Rep. Jack Franks were in the same meeting room.

The County Board committee in charge of its dealings with state and federal lawmakers met Thursday morning with many of its representatives in Springfield to share what it would like to see done by the General Assembly.

And Franks, D-Marengo, who many on the board see as a busybody interfering in county business, had some ideas as to what he would like to see the County Board do.
