State's Attorney reports three staffing losses; prosecutor relocating, recruit delaying start
Summary
State's Attorney Miss Reynolds told the committee she is losing one prosecutor to relocation to Kansas and has another who will not start until after bar exam results, and said the office is down three positions.
State's Attorney Miss Reynolds told the Justice Committee that her office is experiencing staffing losses and is currently down three positions.
Reynolds said she received notice that one prosecutor is leaving Illinois and moving to Kansas. She also said another newly hired attorney has decided not to begin working in the office before receiving bar exam results. "I got notification from one of my prosecutors yesterday that he's leaving the state of Illinois and moving to Kansas. So I'm gonna lose that individual. There is also a 7 11 that decided not to come to the office. He does not, want to risk losing his job if he fails the bar exam, and so he doesn't want to come until after he gets his bar exam results. So that puts me down 3 for just an update," Reynolds said.
The report was given as an informational staffing update; the transcript records no formal motion, directive, or discussion of mitigation steps. No additional details were provided about the specific positions or the timeline to refill vacancies, and the transcript does not identify the third position referenced beyond Reynolds' statement.
