Attorney Tim Dwyer has filed a tax objection suit against five McHenry County tax districts:
- Riley Grade School District
- Algonquin Township Road District
On December 13, 2018, the Algonquin Township Board voted not to approve the tax levy submitted by Road Commissioner Andrew Gasser.
Apparentely realizing that some tax money would be needed, the Board called for a special meeting to be held on December 20, 2018.
But, the suit notes, the special meeting did not have the two weeks notice required by law, but just two days notice.
That brings these allegations:
The meeting being invalid, the case argues the levy in its entirity was invalid.
The relief sought is broader than just the Road District, but no argument is made as to why the rest of the Algonquin Township levy should be held illegal.
Riley School District 18 is accused of having an excessive accumulation of money.
The allegation is summarized below:
The suit argues that the district’s Transportation Fund also has an accumulation which is too high.
The same argument is make for Riley’s Operation and Maintenance Fund and its Liability and Insurance Fund.
If they didn’t over-accumulate taxes, ripping off the taxpayers, they couldn’t be sued.
I hope there’s more such suits!
Fatso Lutz ain’t all there mentally.
He’ll even tell you that.
Wow, look at Lutzow in those pictures!
Looks like a double for the ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ especially the mouth breather part when the Creature ain’t using his gills.
Typical Township mooch.
Hey where’s Kelly, his puppet master and Rachel’s advisor?
Still waiting for adjudication of tax objection lawsuit years ago against Woodstock CUSD 200.
Attorneys for School Board have employed delaying tactics.
This serves to run up the legal bills charged to taxpayers of the School district in 2 ways:
1. The school’s hired attorneys charge for every court appearance, paid for by taxpayers…
(plaintiff attorney is on contingency; delays and continuances serve only to wear down the side who does not get paid until the end if at all).
2. If there is a finding in favor of plaintiffs, there is interest attached to the damages.
Delayed adjudication just increases the amounts of taxpayer money owed to damaged taxpayers who signed up to the litigation.
One happy consequence of the tax objection suit:it stopped the practice of Woodstock D200 deliberately over-levying millions in the Transpotation Fund for the stated purpose of transferring to the (capped) Ed Fund.
Maybe litigation to recover excess accumulation turns out to be unsuccessful, but the act of litigating has had a chilling effect on certain bad behavior commonly practiced by taxing bodies.
Say it isn’t so Lucy Miller and Orange head Canada are getting in with there puppets Lee……..
