About this Article

Island Lake residents trying to quash plans for a new village hall may have an unexpected ally. Trustee Chuck Cermak believes officials should reconsider the effort, now that 76 percent of voters opposed the proposal in an advisory question on Election Day. The overwhelming opposition "tells us what the people want," Cermak said Thursday.
