To the Editor:

I have been reading the articles regarding the McHenry County Mental Health Board, and in particular the ones written by Northwest Herald senior reporter Kevin Craver.

I am appalled that this organization that taxpayers fund is now jeopardizing services and local agencies. The former director leaving immediately upon having her doctorate paid; the loan of $1.4 million to an agency that collapsed when it was known it could not be recouped; local agencies not trusting the Mental Health Board; attorney fees that outpace organizations much larger.
