BELVIDERE — The Boone County Board may deliver a vote of no confidence in Chairman Bob Walberg at its board meeting Wednesday night, according to an email received by the Register Star on Thursday.
Some members have voiced concerns over Walberg’s appointment process, committee assignments and overall leadership style in the past year.
The vote is more symbolic than binding. Boone County State’s Attorney Michelle Courier said it has no legal effect.
Walberg, who has chaired the board for six years, said he tries to place people where they will be the most beneficial to the County Board.
“Many years ago I learned the strengths we feel we have are not (always) what others see in us,” he said.
