Outgoing state Sen. Christine Johnson, R-Shabbona, says it’s possible she could again seek her old position as DeKalb County treasurer.

“That is a possibility,” she said. “There have been a number of people who talked to me about that.”

On Dec. 21, County Board Chairman Jeff Metzger said Treasurer Mark Todd was resigning to pursue a job in Hawaii. His resignation will be effective Feb. 8, and Metzger has 60 days from then to appoint somebody. State statutes require the appointment to go to someone of the same political party. Both Todd and Johnson are Republicans.
