BLOOMINGTON – A former McLean County Board member could be rejoining the board soon.
Laurie Wollrab is the only candidate to file for the vacant District 6 board seat. She served two terms from 2008 to 2014. The County Board’s executive committee had scheduled to interview candidates next Tuesday with an appointment to be made later this month.
Paul Finch resigned from the post last month to take a job out of state. The appointment would only be until the end of the year. The seat will be on the November ballot because Finch left with more than 28 months left on his term. The Democratic and Republican parties will appoint candidates since filing for the primary had already closed at the time of Finch’s resignation.
District 6 includes parts of Bloomington and Normal.
