Kane County Treasurer David Rickert, having lost his bid to become board chairman, will now leave the county entirely after 22 years of service.
Rickert is poised to become the chief financial officer of Rockford-based Winnebago County following a Thursday vote by their county board. Rickert did not immediately respond to an interview request, but his looming departure was confirmed by Kane County Republican Party Chairman Ken Shepro.
Two years remain on Rickert's term. That means new Kane County Board Chairman Corinne Pierog will be tasked with appointing someone to fill the seat.
