Election Central New Lenox: 2013 April Elections

In The early January objection to candidate Kathy Miller's petition sparked a firestorm that led to an outcry when she was temporarily kicked off the ballot and later put back on by a Will County Judge John Anderson.

Miller's attorney has initiated a civil suit against Member Maureen Broderick, who has been accused of rigging the objection to Miller's petition. Broderick has described the suit as a threat. It was filed by Miller after Broderick refused to resign from the board.
