SPRINGFIELD – A group of small business owners converged at the capitol March 28 in a "Rally for Lawsuit Reform," to urge support for civil justice reforms.

Sponsored by Illinois Lawsuit Abuse Watch (I-LAW), participants spoke with Gov. Bruce Rauner, legislators and other state officials about advancing venue reform in state courts, among other things. 

I-LAW's executive director Travis Akin said the idea is to limit the filing of a civil lawsuit to the court system in which an alleged incident occurred or where the plaintiff lives.

“The biggest issue that I’ve been working on since I got involved in I-LAW back in 2008 has been our venue reform proposal," I-LAW Executive Director Travis Akin told the Record. "Every year in the General Assembly, legislation gets introduced that would do some sort or type of venue reform.”

He said that venue reform "would really cut down a lot of the abusive lawsuits that you see in Madison and St. Clark counties where you have plaintiffs from all over the globe finding their way into the Madison County courtrooms. Particularly, the asbestos cases there.”

Akin and I-LAW argue that the current legal climate in Illinois has caused business owners to migrate to neighboring states, and it also discourages new businesses from moving in. As a result, he said, there are fewer jobs, a high unemployment rate and an overall negative impact on the economy.

In a Harris poll conducted in 2015, results showed that Illinois was ranked 48 out of 50 for its liability systems. In the survey, 75 percent of respondents said a state’s litigation environment could influence decisions such as how and where they would manage their businesses, with 44 percent responding somewhat likely and 32 percent very likely. In addition, Illinois has placed high in a 2017 ranking summary from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with an unemployment rate of 5.4.

“The numbers don’t lie,” Akin said. “You look at Illinois' unemployment rate right now, we’re one of the worst in the country. Certainly, the worst in the Midwest. Last time I looked at the numbers, I think we were like worst in the country in terms of our unemployment rate. That’s just not acceptable. You look at states like Wisconsin and Indiana and Missouri that are moving lots of reform legislation forward, employers are liking what they’re seeing.”

Akin said that Illinois needs businesses to stay and invest in the state.

“It’s not just lawsuit reform obviously," he said. "Attracting businesses to these other states, there are other business type reforms taking place. But I think here in Illinois … you have to start somewhere to get businesses to stay and get businesses to invest in our state and right now we’re seeing businesses leave our state and go to states that have these reforms in place.”

Despite the challenge of getting reforms passed in a state legislature resistant to a pro-business agenda, Akin was pleased with the rally.

“We’re going to keep fighting," he said. "We met with the legislative leaders. We met with House Republican leader Jim Durkin and we met with some high-level staffers for the Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno. They were all supportive of what we’re trying to do and they understand we need these reforms. It was good for us to talk to them and get that assurance that they’re going to keep fighting to get it done."

EDWARDSVILLE — A driver claims he was injured in a multi-car collision caused by a wrong-way driver.

William Carter filed a complaint on March 27 in the Madison County Circuit Court against Dhillon Bros Trucking Inc., Anthony Torres, administrator of the estate of Rose Fridrich, Leanna Haas and Mohammad Sharif Dhillon, alleging that they failed to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner and to exercise ordinary care and caution so as not to cause injury to others.

According to the complaint, on Nov. 17, 2015, the plaintiff was driving southbound on Interstate 55 when an oncoming vehicle being driven the wrong way on the interstate by Fridrich suddenly swerved and applied its breaks, resulting in a collision with the plaintiff's vehicle and the vehicles of Dhillon and Haas. 

As a result, Carter claims he suffered physical injuries and lost wages and incurred medical expenses. 

The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to keep an adequate lookout during the operation of their vehicles, failed to control speed, failed to apply brakes and failed to sound horn to warn other motorists.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment in sum in excess of $50,000 plus the cost of this suit and any further relief the court deems just. 

He is represented by Michael A. Knobloch of Goldberg Weisman Cairo in Chicago.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 17-L-441

BELLEVILLE — A Huels Oil Co. employee is suing Federated Mutual Insurance Company for alleged breach of contract claiming it refuses to pay for coverage he is entitled to receive.

Darren Popejoy, of Washington County, filed a complaint on March 28 in St. Clair County Circuit Court alleging Federated Mutual failed to uphold its written policy in regard to his claims.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on April 2, 2015, he suffered traumatic injuries after his employer's vehicle was rear-ended by another driver in Carlyle. Popejoy claims the vehicle owned by his employer, Huels Oil, is covered for underinsured motorist coverage to which plaintiff should receive compensation for injuries and damages. He also claims that he settled the underlying case against the at-fault driver for the full policy limit of $100,000 but still is due other insurance benefits. 

The plaintiff alleges Federated Mutual failed to pay him the entitled policy coverage up to the underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage limit of $500,000. Instead, it offered a $300,000 payment which is less than the amount stated under the policy.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment in the amount of the underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage limits under the policy, plus pre-judgment interest, attorneys' fees, cost and for other relief the court deems just and proper. 

He is represented by David Cates and Chad M. Mooney of Cates Mahoney LLC in Swansea.

St. Clair County Circuit Court case number 17-L-160

BELLEVILLE — A bank is suing a dissolved recycling company for allegedly failing to make payments.

UMB Bank NA filed a complaint on March 24 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against John Paule Metal Recycling LLC, alleging the defendant, now dissolved, failed to uphold the terms, obligations, covenants and conditions of its contract with the plaintiff.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on June 1, 2016, it provided loan proceeds to the defendant with the original principal amount of $149,973.50. However, the plaintiff claims it did not receive monthly payments, resulting in interest and late charges that continue to accrue from and after March 22, 2017. 

The plaintiff alleges John Paule failed to pay monthly payments, failed to maintain a good credit standing under the laws of the State of Illinois and failed to pay the entire balance due with interests, late charges and release fees.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment for the remaining amount borrowed with late charges and interests, together with all costs, attorneys' fees and for such other and further relief as the court deems just. 

The plaintiff is represented by Llynn K. White of Polsinelli PC in St. Louis.

St. Clair County Circuit Court case number 17-L-151

EDWARDSVILLE — A patient claims she suffered blisters and permanent damages during a cosmetic vein treatment. 

Mary Vesci and Anthony Vesci filed a complaint on March 31 in the Madison County Circuit Court against nurse Stephanie Bell, Dr. Kevin Bell and Multi-Care Specialists SC, alleging they failed in their duty to exercise the degree of knowledge, skill and care as is ordinarily expected from a health care provider.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that on Aug. 10, 2015, Mary Vesci was presented by her primary doctor, Kevin Bell, to registered nurse Stephanie Bell for various vein and cosmetic issues. Mary Vesci claims she was told by Stephanie Bell that she could treat prominent veins on her temporal region and would inject a sclerosing agent into the temporal artery. 

However, the arterial injection allegedly caused massive damage to her head resulting in blisters, sores, skin loss, hair loss and permanent scarring and hair loss, the suit claims. 

The plaintiffs allege the defendants failed to appropriately treat the patient when defendants knew or should have known of the injury sustained, failed to recognize the errors of the injection, failed to have a medical doctor present when medical procedures were performed and failed to obtain informed consent from plaintiff Mary Vesci.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment in an amount greater than jurisdictional limits, plus costs of suit and any further relief to which the court deems just and proper. 

They are represented by Ted N. Gianaris and G. Michael Stewart of Simmons Hanly Conroy in Alton.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 17-L-000451

U.S. District Judge David Herndon has denied plaintiff and defense motions to exclude expert testimony in a personal injury suit against a tree stand manufacturer.

Plaintiff Jordan Queen sued manufacturer WIC, doing business as Sniper Treestands, in federal court in East St. Louis in 2014, alleging that a deer stand he used collapsed inward resulting in his injuries.

Queen had moved to exclude the testimony of defense expert L.J. Smith, a hunting accident reconstructionist whose expertise is drawn from investigating hunting accidents as well as being a hunter who also employs the use of tree stands. The plaintiff questioned Smith’s relevance due to his inspection of the tree stand at the accident site, saying his observations lacked “foundation." 

Another expert Queen challenged is George Saunders, a hunter mechanical engineer whose reliability was questioned due to the tree stand he evaluated was not the same one from which he alleges injury, among other things. 

Sniper Treestands had move to exclude plaintiff expert Christopher W. Ramsey, a metallurgist who has testified as an expert in the past for both plaintiffs and defendants. 

While his lack of expertise with tree stands and hunting was why defense challenged the witness, his expertise in metallurgy was the reason stated for Herndon's denial. 

Herndon wrote that testimony of all these witnesses could bring to trial, would be “essential to the jury."

The Metro East region of Illinois is shrinking.

Comprising a handful of counties on the Illinois side of the greater St. Louis area, the Metro East region borders Missouri with the Mississippi River separating the two states. Belleville, the largest city in the Metro East, is less than a half-hour car ride from St. Louis. Because of its proximity to St. Louis, the Metro East is home to many residents who cross the border in their daily commute. But a large number of Illinoisans are leaving the state altogether for Missouri.

With the exception of Monroe County, every county in the Metro East saw its population shrink. From July 2015 to July 2016, two counties in Metro East – St. Clair and Madison – saw a combined drop in population of more than 1,600 people. St. Clair County suffered the brunt of the decline, losing 1,320 people, while Madison’s population decreased by 312.

St. Clair and Madison counties’ population losses come overwhelmingly from out-migration – the areas saw more births than deaths and even gained residents on net from international migration. St. Clair County had 3,282 births, 2,678 deaths and 127 immigrants arrive. However, St. Clair County lost 1,910 residents due to net domestic migration, and suffered a population loss of 1,320 residents. Madison County had 3,032 births, 2,814 deaths and 148 immigrants arrive. Far fewer people left Madison County; it lost only 572 people on net to domestic migration.

Missouri does not have this problem. Of the Missouri counties in the greater St. Louis area, only two counties ̶ St. Louis County and the city of St. Louis ̶ lost people. And though the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County lost more than 6,000 residents combined, the Missouri counties of the greater St. Louis area saw net growth. The other Missouri counties in the greater St. Louis area all saw population gains from July 2015 to July 2016. St. Charles County saw the biggest growth, where the population increased by 5,747 between July 2015 and July 2016.

Crossing state lines: Illinois lost 73,000 people on net to Missouri in the last decade

In 2015, Illinois saw a net loss of more than 8,500 people to Missouri. Although 15,000 Missourians came to Illinois in 2015, nearly 24,000 Illinoisans left the Land of Lincoln in favor of the Show Me State. And it’s not just Metro East; from July 2015 to July 2016, 89 out of Illinois’ 102 counties shrank in population.

And 2015 wasn’t an outlier.

From 2006 to 2015, Illinois lost nearly 73,000 residents on net to Missouri. That’s more people than the populations of Jersey and Clinton counties combined.

Why Illinoisans are fleeing: Taxes are No. 1 reason

Illinoisans have been fleeing the state for several years now. In 2015, half of Illinois’ migration losses were the result of Illinoisans moving to other states in the Midwest, including Missouri. In addition to Missouri, Wisconsin and Kentucky both saw net migration gains from Illinois in 2015.

One of the biggest causes of this exodus is taxes. According to a poll from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute, Illinois’ high taxes were the No. 1 reason nearly half of those surveyed wanted to leave the state. Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country and one of the costliest overall tax burdens in the nation. Since 1990 residential property taxes in Illinois have grown 3.3 times faster than median household incomes, and the homeowners’ property tax burden as a percentage of median household income has skyrocketed 76 percent.

Missouri, on the other hand, has much lower property taxes. In 2016, the property tax rates for Illinois homeowners were 2.25 times higher than property tax rates in Missouri.

On Election Day, people in Madison County voted on a referendum on whether to reduce and cap property taxes, despite two challenges submitted to the electoral board to prevent the question from appearing on the ballot. Madison County residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of reducing the amount of property taxes the county can collect to 0.20 percent from 0.25 percent of home value.

While homeowners in Madison County made important progress in the last election, the battle for more affordable property taxes is nowhere close to over. Though currently stalled, lawmakers in Springfield are seeking to resurrect the “grand bargain” Senate deal which would’ve implemented a two-year property tax freeze in exchange for a permanent income tax hike. And the proposed property tax freeze would’ve been ineffectual because it excluded the biggest cost drivers, such as debt service, pension payments and public safety.

Raising taxes will not solve the state’s education funding problems, and doing so will simply hurt Illinois residents who are already overburdened with taxes. Residents of the Metro East counties and the rest of Illinois should take a lesson from Madison County and fight for real property tax relief at the state level. Metro East residents should hold their elected officials accountable and demand more, instead of trading permanent tax hikes for weak reforms and watered-down, temporary property tax freezes.

CHICAGO - Chicago Police say they are continuing to investigate “around the clock” to find and “bring to justice” a man they believe responsible for gunning down a Cook County criminal court judge outside his home early Monday morning.

Cook County Associate Judge Raymond Myles died after he was shot multiple times in what police said could have been robbery attempt gone bad – though they are not ruling out the possibility the murder was a targeted hit on the judge.

According to police, Judge Myles was gunned down outside the garage of his home in the 9400 block of S. Forest Avenue in the West Chesterfield neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side around 5 a.m. on April 10.

At a press conference Monday, Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Melissa Staples said Myles, 66, appeared to come to the aid of a woman he knew after she became involved in an altercation with a man on a concrete parking pad between the judge’s home and his garage, behind the house. According to Staples, the woman was shot once in the leg. The judge then exited the house, exchanged words with the attacker, who then allegedly shot him multiple times and fled on foot.

The woman then called 911, Staples said, followed by numerous other neighbors.

Staples declined to identify the woman, describing her only as a “close associate” of Myles, with whom the judge would regularly “work out.”

Staples described the suspect only as a “male, black.”

Staples said police have had reports of robberies in the area recently, and said the incident may have been a robbery. However, she would not rule out if the attack was targeted directly at the judge.

Myles, who had served in Cook County’s criminal courts since 1999, had helped preside over some high-profile cases, including of the man convicted of murdering three relatives of singer and actor Jennifer Hudson, and of Anthony Abbate, the Chicago Police officer tried for beating a bartender, among others.

Myles also was involved in an altercation following a traffic crash in 2015, when the other driver allegedly punched the judge in the face.

Staples said Chicago Police were aware of threats the judge has received in the past, but declined to say if the judge’s murder could be tied to those threats, or to any of the judge’s “official duties.”

Kevin Navarro, First Deputy Superintendent of Chicago Police, called the attack “a direct attack on the criminal justice system that keeps our society safe,” and pledged police would hold the judge’s killer “accountable.”

Staples said Chicago Police were reviewing surveillance footage from the vicinity around the judge’s home, and were pursuing “multiple and promising leads.”

The FBI has also offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to identifying and apprehending the judge’s killer.

Also Monday, Cook County Circuit Court Chief Judge Timothy Evans said he and other judges in the county were mourning the “the tragic passing of our colleague and friend.”

Myles was first appointed to be a Cook County judge in 1999 by the Illinois Supreme Court. The county’s circuit judges then appointed him to serve as an associate judge in June 2001. He served in the county’s Criminal Division since March 2009.

“Judge Myles joined the bench with a wealth of experience in law and extensive service to the community,” Evans said in a prepared statement. “I have always known Judge Myles to be focused and determined in the pursuit of justice, and his conduct earned him the confidence and respect of the people who appeared before him.

“All of our colleagues at the Leighton Criminal Court Building will miss Judge Myles, who they came to know for his kindness and his impartial administration of justice.”

Three tax hike proposals went down to defeat in Madison and St. Clair Counties in the last election, but you can bet we haven't seen the last of them.

Tax hikes can be rejected over and over again, but they keep coming back – sometimes in the exact same form, sometimes in disguise. They're almost always touted as being for “the children” or “the schools” or some other “vital services,” but money is fungible and there's no way a citizen can know where it will wind up or what other funds will be diverted from the alleged object of appropriation.

Once in effect, tax hikes are considered sacrosanct and irreversible. Had the three proposed hikes been approved, we might have been saddled with them forever, and how long would it have been before our public servants discovered that the additional funds raised were not enough and that another hike was needed?

Proponents of tax-hike proposals always claim to have our best interests at heart, but are they our interests or theirs that motivate them? And what makes them think that they can spend our money better than we can ourselves, or that their plans and projects are more important than our own?

Has the dismal state of our economy escaped their notice this past decade? Do they not realize what we, their constituents, are going through? That we haven't had raises? That we've lost our jobs? That we're cutting back? That we're doing without?

What on earth makes them think that the laws of economics don't apply to them? They thought now was a good time to ask us to approve tax increases? Are they clueless?

Instead of tax hikes, they should propose tax reductions. They should learn to get by on less, to make sacrifices, to accept reality, to live the way the rest of us live: in the real world.

That's what honest, capable, and caring public servants would do.

Great Lakes Educational Loan Services has until April 24 to respond to a proposed class action claiming financially stressed borrowers were steered into costly repayment programs instead of more affordable income-driven repayment options.

Plaintiff Nicole Denise Nelson, 33, of Shiloh filed suit in February in federal court in East St. Louis on behalf of potentially thousands of others seeking in excess of $5 million in compensatory, exemplary and punitive damages.

Nelson is an attorney employed at the Belleville office of the Illinois Attorney General. She is represented by Brandon Wise and Paul Lesko of Pfeiffer Rosca Wolf Abdullah Carr & Kane in St. Louis.

The suit claims that Great Lakes Educational Loan Services, based in Madison, Wisc., has encouraged financially strapped borrowers into forbearance, "which is more costly to the student loan borrower but significantly less costly for the student loan servicer."

At the heart of the case is how Great Lakes handles borrowers experiencing financial hardships that are not temporary. Such borrowers are being encouraged to file for forbearances, rather than more appropriate income-driven repayment plans, because it's in the best interests of the student-loan servicer, the complaint says.

"In sum, counseling borrowers about alternative student loan payment plans and enrolling those student loan borrowers in income-driven repayment plans is costly for Defendants and its employees," the complaint says. "In contrast, enrollment of student loan borrowers in forbearance can often be completed over the phone, in a matter of minutes, and generally without the submission of any paperwork."

The complaint indicates that 10 as yet unnamed individual defendants may be added to the complaint.

Nelson began making payments on her student loans in December 2009 but entered into forbearance by November 2012, according to her complaint. Over the next few years, Nelson bounced in and out of forbearance, changed jobs and became unemployed, but when she discussed her situation over the phone with Great Lakes employees, she was told that her options were forbearance or a deferment, according to the complaint.

"Plaintiff was not informed of alternative or income-driven repayment option," the complaint says. "These other alternative or repayment options would have likely allowed Plaintiff a $0.00 or extremely low monthly payment, and would have counted as qualifying payments towards loan forgiveness. Instead, Plaintiff was, pursuant to Defendants' policy and practice, steered into forbearance."

The complaint points out that federal student loan borrowers who can't make monthly payments on their student loan debt may opt for alternative repayment plans that can include a percentage of their discretionary income or that can count toward loan forgiveness programs.

"However, despite the wide-spread availability of income-driven repayment plans, and their clear benefits to student loan borrowers, student loan servicers, like Great Lakes, systematically deterred Plaintiff, and upon information and belief, potentially thousands of other borrowers from obtaining access to some or all of the benefits and protections associated with income driven repayment plans," the complaint says.

Great Lakes steered financially stressed borrowers into forbearance programs instead of other, more long-term but less lucrative student-loan repayment options, according to the complaint.

"Consequently, Great Lakes has failed to perform its core duties in the servicing of student loans," the complaint says. "Instead, Great Lakes has violated its duties to Plaintiff and others similarly situated under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as well as violating the trust that student loan borrowers placed in the company, by steering struggling student loan borrowers into forbearance, rather than an eligible 'income-driven' repayment plan that could have provided monthly payments as low as $0.00 per month, a significant benefit to the struggling student loan borrower, but (potentially) less profitable for Defendants."

Members of the class in this case would be anyone who lives in Illinois, has student-loan contracts in the state and, since Feb. 21, 2014, "were subjected to Defendants’ unfair and deceptive conduct," the complaint says.

The case is presided over by District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel.

Magistrate Judge Stephen Williams will handle pre-trial proceedings.

Most St. Clair County voters suffer from a political disability because the county packs more of them into precincts than the law allows.

Returns from the April 4 election show that to some degree, turnout decreases as precinct population increase.

Among 216 precincts, 118 exceed the limit of 800 voters.

Among precincts over the limit, nearly half hold more than 1,000 voters.

In O’Fallon Township, 12 of 18 precincts hold more than 1,000 voters.

Precinct 12 in Caseyville Township holds 2,096.

Turnout reached its peak in “proper” precincts, topping 40 percent in five of Canteen Township’s nine precincts, all three of Marissa’s precincts and the single precincts Lenzburg and Stites.  

Mascoutah Township’s four precincts contain 6,088 voters, an average of 1,522. The county board could split those into eight proper precincts with an average of 761 voters, and the law requires that they do so.

Illinois law allows them to split precincts at 600.

The number of voters per precinct generally grows with distance from the Mississippi River.

Fifteen of 25 precincts in East St. Louis Township comply with the law, and the average precinct holds 763 voters.

No precinct in East St. Louis Township fell short of 15 percent.

Ten of 21 precincts in Centreville Township comply, and the average precinct holds 810 voters.

In Caseyville Township, 13 of 26 precincts comply, and the average precinct holds 943 voters.

Turnout there fell short of 15 percent in two of three precincts with more than 1,700 voters. Turnout fell short of 15 percent in two other improper precincts. In one of 13 proper precincts, turnout fell short of 15 percent.

Fourteen of 35 precincts in Belleville Township comply, and the average precinct holds 864 voters.

In the April 4 election, the Belleville precinct with the most voters achieved the lowest turnout rate.

It happened in precinct 26, with 12 percent turnout among 1,635 voters.

Among five other precincts in Belleville Township with more than 1,000 voters, turnout fell short of 15 percent in two.

Turnout fell short of 15 percent in one of 14 proper precincts.

Fourteen of 31 precincts in St. Clair Township comply with the law, and the average precinct holds 879 voters.

Turnout there fell short of 15 percent in two of five precincts with more than 1,200 voters. Turnout fell short of 15 percent in three of 14 proper precincts.

Two of 18 precincts in O’Fallon Township comply, and the average precinct holds 1,087 voters.

The packing problem persists in less densely populated townships.

In Shiloh Valley Township, precinct 5 holds 1,957 voters, precinct 1 holds 1,693, and precinct 2 holds 1,304.

Two proper precincts bring the township’s average down to 1,253.

In Millstadt Township, precinct 2 holds 1,550 voters, precinct 1 holds 1,187, precinct 5 holds 1,033, and precinct four holds 931.

Precinct 3 complies, at 604, bringing the average down to 1,061.

Freeburg Township’s precincts hold 1,308, 1,299, and 1,264, an average of 1,290.

Smithton Township’s precincts hold 1,355, 1,094, and 847, an average of 1,099.

Precinct 1 in Lebanon Township holds 1,683, more than the township’s two proper precincts together.

Precincts in some townships comply completely.

Nine precincts in Canteen Township range from 514 to 664, and three precincts in Marissa Township range from 493 to 570.

Two precincts in Fayetteville Township hold 742 and 486.

Single precincts in three townships comply by default, with 664 voters in Lenzburg, 566 in Englemann, and 511 in Stites.

Illinois has the highest state and local tax burden in the country, according to a recent report by a personal finance website.

On March 14, WalletHub released its annual ranking of each state’s tax burden, with Illinois ranking the worst in the nation. 

The report indicates that the median Illinois household pays $8,162 in annual state and local taxes, including sales taxes, property taxes and income taxes. Median households were taxed at 14.67 percent, according to the report.

Feeling the pinch of carrying an even heavier tax burden, voters stood up and said no to more by voting this week against expanding the sales tax for previously exempt services, such as public safety.

“I believe the public supports law enforcement and public safety, but they have now said loud and clear that sales taxes are not the way they want to pay for it," St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly told the Record. "The needs are there and everyone agrees what those needs are, but the deep misgivings and anxieties most folks have about all levels of government right now means they are reluctant to take that step."

Residents in St. Clair County and Madison County voted against three separate 1-cent sales tax proposals that would have gone toward public safety and for school improvements. 

Since many public safety and law enforcement projects need to be funded, Kelly said everyone needs to come up creative alternatives to a sales tax.

“So, we all, citizens and public servants alike, have a lot of work to do together to come up with new solutions, because we cannot allow our public safety institutions to deteriorate and fall behind where they need to be,” Kelly said.

Lawmakers also had looked at a potential tax on sugary drinks, but withdrew the proposal following a backlash.

“A beverage tax was originally included in the budget, but as of now it is no longer under consideration,” Claudia Rodriguez, spokesperson for the Illinois Coalition Against Beverage Taxes, told the Record. “Lawmakers understood a beverage tax was a regressive policy measure that would result in negative economic consequences for Illinois residents. We are actively working with lawmakers to keep a beverage tax out of consideration.”

BELLEVILLE — A local bank claims two customers failed to make payments on a loan.

First County Bank, based in St. Clair County, filed a complaint on March 24 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Kevin Koch and Kimberley Koch, alleging they failed to abide by the written contract to make payments toward their loan.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on April 27, 2011, it made a loan to the defendants in the original sum of $100,773.73 but failed to receive payments due as required, including monthly payments. 

The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to make payments as required therein, including monthly payments and interest amounting to $92,983.88 as of March 10, 2017.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment in the amount of $93,643.88, for post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees, costs of suit and for such other and further relief as the court deems proper. 

The plaintiff is represented by Kevin J. Stine of First Co Bancorp Inc. in O'Fallon.
