Only One of Linda Moore Trustee Allies Wins; Ability to Stop Proposed $3.5 Million Township Hall in Doubt

It’s hard to tell what a township board will do when its leader goes down to defeat.

In Grafton Township, apparent narrow winner Linda Moore carried only one of her two running mates to victor – Gerry McMahon.

He placed third of six candidates.

The preliminary Republican Party primary election results follow (with the four winners on top):

  • Betty Zirk – 1,254
  • Barbara Murphy – 1,157
  • Gerry McMahan – 1,025
  • Robert LaPorta – 1,005
  • Lois Brothers – 931
  • Don Glogovsky – 816

Glogovsky was the second of Moore’s running mates. He was inexplicably separated from the other one on the ballot. I guess they didn’t file joint petitions. Had they filed joint petitions, Glogovsky would have been second on the ballot and had a better chance of success.

Since the township board has five members, Moore may not be able to accomplish her goals—the main on being to stop the proposed $3.5 million new township hall—unless one of the incumbent trustees is willing to cooperate with her.

The next meeting of the Grafton Township Board is Thursday night at 7:30 at the Huntley Park District Recreation Center.

  1. So you are saying that Linda Moore might not be able to follow through on her campaign promises, the only issue that her entire platform was based on?

    Maybe she should have told that to all the people she mislead into voting for her. Maybe if they had known, they would have voted differently.

    So will we now have to face more “articles” talking about yet another “board majority”?
