Stories Related to Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Mchenry Township Board

A McHenry County Circuit Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit against the McHenry Township board asking officials to remove a referendum from the November ballot that gives taxpayers the power to eliminate the road district with a majority vote. Filed on behalf of more than 30 McHenry Township residents, the lawsuit alleges the township board did not follow the directions of electors who voted at the government's annual town meeting to request a cost study be done to determine whether consolidation would save taxpayers money. On Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Kevin Costello dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that electors do not have the statutory power to direct the board. Genna Hibbs, the Woodstock attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the residents, would not comment on whether her clients planned to appeal the decision. Trustee Bob Anderson called the dismissal "a great victory for the voters." "This is up to the voters to decide," said Anderson, who has been fighting for township consolidation for three decades.

Fire sale commences? Marlins pull Arraez from lineup before game in Oakland, set on shipping batting champ to Padres
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 05/03/2024 - 10:13 PM
By JANIE McCAULEY (AP Baseball Writer) OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Miami Marlins are working on a trade that would send second baseman and reigning NL batting champion Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres. The Marlins said Friday that the deal was pending a review of medical information before it could be finalized and formally announced. “When a guy like that is taken out of the lineup or potentially traded, you feel it, because he’s such a good kid and one of the leaders in that clubhouse,” manager Skip Schumaker said, “so there’s definitely a shock value.” There was also some shock in the Padres’ clubhouse after their 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday night, though it was for happier reasons. “It’s really amazing — that guy is a baller,” San Diego slugger Fernando Tatis Jr.
