A Mount Prospect mayoral candidate and current village trustee is calling for trustee candidate Terri Gens to withdraw from the race and be removed from the Mount Prospect Public Library board for using a racial slur during an endorsement interview with the Daily Herald.
In a letter to the Daily Herald, Trustee William Grossi also suggests that another trustee candidate who came to Gens defense, Peggy Pissarreck, should drop out of the race as well.
