Two first-time candidates in Grayslake who lost their chance to be on the April ballot at a hearing last week say they were given little notice that issues with their paperwork would cost them the chance to run.
At a 9 a.m. meeting Jan. 4, the village electoral board decided Grayslake residents Michael Muno, who was running for mayor, and Paul Skorupa, who was running for village trustee, would not be on the ballot. Both men learned of the electoral board meeting via email Dec. 31, and neither attended.
