Not too many signatures, board says

In a case one attorney said shows how 2

confusing Illinois can be, a Barrington Hills trustee candidate on Tuesday defeated an effort to have her removed from the spring ballot, in part over claims she had too many signatures on her petitions. Barrington Hills’ three-member electoral board rejected an objection lodged by Arnold Cernik over paperwork submitted by trustee hopeful Linda H. Cools. Cernik contended the number of signatures Cools obtained topped the allowable maximum of 104.
