Judge refuses to dismiss FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS and other claims against Clerk Kristin THIRION and Assistant VM Patrick CARR.
The lawsuit alleges purposeful disclosure of private information in retaliation for the filing of an "Ethics Complaint" against THIRION and GLOTZ. While every other Complaint posted on the Village web site by THIRION redacted the filer's private information, inexplicably this was not done when the Complaint sought an investigation of THIRION and GLOTZ. When CARR was notified of the security breach, he refused to take actions to correct it. (See Order here:"http://eberhardtlaw.com/documents/J-Hynes-Order.pdf").
The Plaintiff has requested a jury trial to address the retaliation by Village officials.

FAULTY METERS and FRAUDULENT BILLINGS...
A Cook County Judge DENIED the Village's request to DISMISS a lawsuit seeking a refund for over payments of water bills based on faulty "smart meters" as well as faulty "iPERL" meters. Based on the allegations of fraud, the Judge ruled the lawsuit may proceed. All of the Court filings can be reviewed here. "http://eberhardtlaw.com/?page_id=1444"
Ever since 2003, the Village has known of the problems with meters. Despite continual complaints, the Village was successful in dismissing those complaints simply by stonewalling and delay and the continued claim of the "your toilet is leaking" excuse.
In 2015, a month before the CHICAGO TRIBUNE was to publish its first in a series of expose articles, a former Trustee wrote an article for the EXCHANGE trying to downplay the extent of the failures. Just about a week before the first article went to press, the former Mayor "retired".
Over the years since the first installation of "smart meters" an as yet unknown number of residents and businesses were overcharged for water usage based on the faulty meters. Documents released by the Village now note failures with the new "iPERL" meters also.
In the lawsuit filed earlier this year, a resident asks for refunds of monies overpaid based on the faulty meters. Relying on the same arguments the Village had used in another case, Village lawyers asked the lawsuit be dismissed. The judge disagreed and found that since the allegations are based on fraud the lawsuit may proceed.
This could open the door for persons who believe they have been over billed for water usage to seek a refund from the Village.
