Homer Township, its public officials, and its residents filed suit today in Will County Circuit Court seeking a court order prohibiting the unlawful distribution of Homer Township Road District personal property and the unlawful jurisdictional transfer of Road District highways, all to the Village of Homer Glen.
The Village of Homer Glen, after the referendum to dissolve the Road District failed, announced it was seizing the Township Road District s property and transferring highway jurisdiction to the Village.
After the current Road Commissioner, Mike De Vivo, attended a political caucus, and did not get slated, it is alleged that Vivo and the village decided to fast-track the seizure of the road district property to effectuate its transfer prior to the spring election, leaving the new, incoming road commissioner with no equipment with which to perform his duties.
