Oncken returns to DeKalb County Board
Open seat filled by way of 20-2 vote
SYCAMORE – The DeKalb County Board overwhelmingly approved the appointment of a former member Wednesday, despite two members of his own party opposing it.
County Board members voted 20-2 to appoint Riley Oncken to Ken Andersen’s vacated seat in District 3. Two Republicans, Anthony Cvek and John Gudmundson, of Districts 4 and 11, respectively, voted against Oncken’s appointment.
Oncken said he was grateful to be back, but was disappointed the vote wasn’t unanimous.
