Illinois Supreme Court Allows Board Payments During Validity Challenge
The Illinois Supreme Court ordered Comptroller Lindberg to begin paying bills approved by Elections Board chair Franklin Lunding and member Michael Lavelle while the board’s legal validity is tested. The order ties to potential repayment if it is later ruled Lunding lacks authority. The ruling also revisits civic center bond legislation, voiding a broader act for failing to amend existing laws.
