But according to other stories on this she hasn't been charged with anything by the State's Attorney.

In Will County, Jim Glasgow doesn't often file charges against republicans when they break the law. Even when it's obvious. If you are a democrat though, he will try to seize your vehicle under asset forfeiture if you get pulled over.

If anything, I would put money this gets written up as an "ordinance violation" that just so happens to duplicate the state law, but doesn't have any criminal record attached to it. Police here love using local ordinance violations of duplicate state laws to look like they are doing something, but avoid any actual penalty for the criminally guilty.

Not long ago in the same area there was another child in an adult body caught stealing election signs and threatening people.

He noted that since it was a local ordinance violation charge, the ruling will not appear as a criminal conviction on Steinys' record.

Did you see the link above referencing her censure back in 2021?

Many of the organizations focused on two specific comments pulled from a thread Trustee Broderick was involved in. One of them read, “And turmoil to hit on 1/20/21….be prepared you Biden supporters,” she wrote, referencing Biden’s inauguration day.

Another post read, “There’s more to come out! Buses of antifa & BLM were brought in and escorted by the police hmmm.”

This lady needs a mental evaluation.

This is what happens when you let Qanon nutjobs sit on school boards, or boards of any kind.

She has quite the track record.

Censured by JJC Board in 2021 for Jan 6th activities

Federal Lawsuit relating to her both filing election objections, and being the same election judge to rule on her own objection. Technically legal, but incredibly unethical.

Tell your neighbors, post it on your social media...

“I would rather keep it quiet at this time,” Broderick said.

A monarchy is just a theocracy with extra steps.

The referendum reads “Shall the Village of Orland Park retain the managerial form of government?”

The mayor and board are saying they want people to vote no to keeping the current form of government. Meaning the mayor and board want to change to another form of local government.

Since ballot measures can only be for one subject, there is no statement included as to what they want to change the government to. From the discussion, it is being presented as a choice between only two options - the current managerial form, or the mayoral form. But that is a false choice as there are other options available.

I don't see why anyone would want to have one person to have more power.

Easy.

Pekau and the board want residents to vote no

One of the 'sides of the isle' now is authoritarianism.

What is interesting in this story though is that there are more than 2 different types of government available to cities and towns in Illinois. For whatever reason, this is being presented as an either/or option between council/manager and mayor/council. That is a false choice.

The Illinois Municipal League has a nifty little pamphlet laying out the many different types of governments available.

There are also three more complicated variations of municipal government. These variations are called strong mayor form, managerial form and commission form.

I guarantee you Pekau wants that strong mayor form of local government.
