Some unhappy union employees in Kankakee County are commenting about their disappointment about an earlier-agreed-on contract that the county board reneged on.

Kankakee County Board members (Tuesday) turned down the contract for clerks in the Circuit Clerk's Office. The employees in questions have been without a contract since 2013. And although a union ratification vote was accepted, it's now back to negotiations.

Board Chairman Mike Bossert said the county's in no financial position, right now, to hand out raises.

The County Board also voted No to spending money for additional security at the county jail. There was a committee recommendation last week to suggest a fingerprint security system at the jail to prevent a jail escape like the one involving convicted-killer Kamron Taylor. Again, lack of money was the reason.
