Woman files lawsuit to reverse removal of township abolition question from ballot
Updated 1/25/2021 9:37 AM A woman who collected signatures on a petition that sought to ask Algonquin Township voters this spring whether the local township government should be abolished filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to reverse the question's removal from the ballot. The Algonquin Township electoral board this month upheld an objection to the petition and voted unanimously to take the question off the April 6 ballot.
The electoral board sided with Randy Funk, who is running for the Algonquin Township supervisor seat, on his objection. It claimed that of the 533 voter signatures gathered by petition circulators, 193 were suspected to be invalid.
