Lawsuit Revives Lakewood Board Contentiousness – Part 1

Ryan Berman
Bryan Younge

Former Lakewood Village Trustee Bryan Younge and soon-to-be former Village Trustee Ryan Berman didn’t get along during the administration President Phil Strephan.

And, as those who read the following civil lawsuit filed last month by Younge against Berman will see, that is probably an understatement.

Younge has two attorneys:

  • Adam L. Gill of Fox Swibel Levin & Carroll of Chicago LLP
  • Kevin F. Berry of Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld of Philadelphia, PA

The suit started in Federal Court, but the Judge dismissed the Federal angle, so it had to be re-filed in State Court.

President David Stavropoulos announced this at the beginning of the May 10, 2023, Board meeting.

Apparently the taxpayers are paying for Berman’s side of the case.

Lawsuit Revives Lakewood Board Contentiousness – Part 1 — 5 Comments

  1. I swear my #1 creepiest thing in this whole creep world is always, the bloated balding fellow’s, that sit at a bar working on their sugar diabetes, while belching out their brain farts to the unfortunate captive audiences of waitresses and bartenders.

  2. Lakewood can’t get out of their own way and has been a money pit for years!

    They are the Algonquin Township Lite!

  3. After reading the complaint which has not been answered by the Defendant I question ‘Richardson’s’ credibility for example as he has an alleged ‘aggravated assault’ on camera yet no criminal charges were filed by the MCSO.

    I also have concerns regarding ‘Richardson’s’ alleged ‘outburst’ yelling and slamming doors.

    Clearly unprofessional conduct by a ‘Police Chief’.

    IMO, and I’m not a Psychiatrist, sound like he has mental health issues and perhaps delusional.

    Hopefully he isn’t allowed to possess a firearm.

  4. Slapdyck wow!

    you are a real detective.

    you have no idea what took place that day, just assuming shit.

    You must live at your parent’s house and be over the age of 59.

    You probably have no job since you comment on so many things.

    You have a hard on for Keneally.

    Get a job.

    You don’t golf and spend money (lol) at Woodstock golf clubs or have a wife.. you are the delusional one here.

    With major mental health problems and anger issues.. I hope Keneally can figure you out because we already did.

    Maybe he will have a lot of stuff on here to charge your ass with.

    A Hate crime,
    Slander. Mmmm…

    keep talking and see what you can add to your troubles in life..

    can you say drama Queen..
