About this Article

Island Lake mayoral hopeful Charles Amrich can't run in the April election because of a $174 overdue garbage bill he paid after he signed his candidacy statement, an electoral board voted. The 2-1 ruling came after two hours of testimony from Amrich, village Finance Director John Little and the two men who tried to get Amrich knocked off the ballot, Daniel Field and Louis Sharp. Amrich quickly left the room after the board's decision because of a family health emergency.
