Insurance Auto Auctions hopes to set up shop at Route 72 and Commonwealth Drive in East Dundee. The Barrington Hills-based Northwest Suburban Citizens for Clean Water group is campaigning against the move, citing fears that the company will contaminate local groundwater with fluids that leak from the vehicles. This week, IAA sent a cease and desist letter to the group that ordered it to stop "circulating false and misleading information" about the company.
