Judge rules against McHenry Township Highway Commissioner s challenge against huge tax levy cuts
Updated 12/22/2020 11:34 AM A judge ruled against McHenry Township Highway Commissioner Jim Condon in a lawsuit Monday brought against the local government s trustees over their decision to cut road district property tax levies by about 30% this month. With the decision by 22nd Judicial Circuit Associate Judge Kevin G. Costello, the township road district s total tax levy of $2,095,000 approved by the trustees will for now remain below the $3 million levy Condon originally sought.
The highway commissioner filed the lawsuit against the township s board of trustees last week after a motion to pass a levy far smaller than Condon s $3 million proposal carried 3-1 with the support of Trustees Bob Anderson, Steve Verr and Mike Rakestraw, the same trio that denied McHenry Township Supervisor Craig Adams from participating in the same meeting remotely despite a diagnosis of COVID-19 that had lasted for weeks.
