Dianne Miller updates readers on what happened in court today with regard to her husband Robert Miller’s quest to overcome being kicked off the Crystal Lake City Council Ballot by elected Crystal Lake officials.

The petition challenge was brought by the three council members up for re-election:

• Cathy Ferguson
• Ellen Brady
• Brett Hopkins

Here’s the latest update on Robert’s legal case from Dianne Miller:

Judge Thomas Meyer heard the “Emergency Motion to Intervene” brought by Joe Tirio through the McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney this morning.

It was agreed that the attorneys must file their briefs by Wednesday, January 30th (Robert already filed his brief on January 22nd) and then Judge Meyer will hear the case and make his ruling on Friday, February 1st at 1 pm.

We are hopeful that Robert’s name will be put back on the ballot!
