911 Board, feature, Iroquois County

Iroquois Co. ETSB Attorney - Story not adding up!
BY Kirk Allen & John Kraft
ON July 1, 2014

IROQUOIS CO. (ECWd) -

After finally getting a partial response out of Kankakee County, we can confirm yet again, John Kelly is not an Assistant State's Attorney for Kankakee County, contrary to his claim that he is.

"I represent Kankakee County 911 Board as appointed special Assistant State's Attorney "

Another lie?  

As you can see from the document received from Kankakee, John Kelley's name is nowhere to be found for the named Assistant State's Attorneys.

We are waiting on Cook County to respond to the final FOIA request on this matter, but so far Mr. Kelley has been proven wrong 3 times.   Will, Boone, and now Kankakee Counties do not show Mr. Kelley as an Assistant State's Attorney.

      There are many reasons for a person to lie. He could have been trying to make himself more believable to his audience, maybe he knew people had caught on the the fact ICOM/ETSB cannot hire him so he claims to have been hired in other counties? Who knows, but he should not be stating things that are not factual, especially when he is speaking as an attorney who is a self proclaimed “expert” in ETSB operations throughout the state.
