Lawsuit halts bond sales in some junior college districts
A Warren County, Illinois group sues to challenge the Carl Sandburg Junior College District 518, freezing bond sales for new building projects. The action seeks to overturn the Junior College Act, arguing state funding and district miss the one person one vote standard, creating unequal access and favoring Class I districts. The suit could delay college development by up to a year and a half as the district operates in leased facilities with ongoing tax support.
