Tell us the ‘real facts’ of brain cancer cases

We don’t often write about the minutes of meetings of public bodies in McHenry County.
Minutes essentially are a summary of what was said and done at a given meeting so that an accurate record exists for future reference.
Because our reporters can’t make every single meeting of every single public body in McHenry County, they regularly review minutes of meetings they don’t attend as one way of determining whether anything particularly newsworthy happened.
Earlier this week, senior reporter Kevin Craver brought to my attention a draft of the minutes of the May meeting of the McHenry County Board’s Public Health and Human Services Committee.
Under a section headlined “Reports to committee” was an item about McCullom Lake and the large number of local residents suffering from brain cancer.
The draft of the minutes noted that committee members said that education on cancer clusters was needed because home sales in the community had suffered from the issue.
