It has been brought to our attention that there are some issues about signing petitions for Trustee candidates or voting for candidates. We have been called by numerous residents fearing the repercussion of signing for any candidate that the local officials are running against. These residents have stated that meetings and individual statements have been made locally regarding the upcoming elections, and threats were implied.
The law states that NO ELECTED OFFICIAL or Government worker can threaten, intimidate, or coerce you to NOT sign a petition or not to vote for your candidate of choice. So if you fear for your job, safety, family members incomes, etc. you need not worry. Any person of power that is accused of intimidation, threats, or impeding consequence on who you chose to vote for, has broken the law doing so, stomped on your constitutional rights, and should be reported immediately to Mr. Glasgow, Will County States Attorney.
Bottom line, this is America Damn it! Home of the brave! So step up and vote for whom you want to, because nobody knows what buttons you hit when the poll curtain closes!
