Just ahead of a planned vote to remove an old Elk Grove Village law that makes it illegal to wear clothes intended for the opposite sex, the mayors in Schaumburg and Des Plaines said Tuesday they hope to remove similar language in their municipal codes.
All three towns have 1960s-era laws on the books that label the wearing of opposite-sex clothing indecent offenses. On Wednesday morning, Elk Grove s village board is scheduled to vote to repeal its 1961 ordinance, just hours before a rally originally planned to protest the law.
Des Plaines Mayor Andrew Goczkowski and Schaumburg Mayor Tom Dailly said they learned of similar laws in their towns in recent days from Elk Grove resident and attorney Jim Naughton, who alerted Mayor Craig Johnson to the Elk Grove Village code provision a year ago.

A pitch to add 208 apartments behind the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg on Golf Road could have repercussions for the future development and redevelopment of the entire area around Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg Mayor Tom Dailly said. I really think that could be the wave of the future, Dailly added. If we do this, it s probably the first major change to Schaumburg planning in its history.
Village trustees will get their first look at the proposal Tuesday night. Few details have been provided to Schaumburg officials in advance. Tim Gallagher, of landowner First Equity Group LLC, declined to share additional information before the presentation, which he said was still being prepared Monday.
