Whoops!

Forest View is looking for a new public works director, again. The dude they just hired was quickly sent packing.  The village board approved the hiring of James Patrick Ryan on Tuesday without checking his job history. After being officially hired Ryan was sent to the police station for a criminal background check which turned up zilch. A Forest View employee who dresses as a cop did a quick google search of the Ryan's name and went to his village contact to report what he found (read here).  The accidental village president Larry Powell blamed the cops for not finding out about his work history before they hired him.
