Fight on in Antioch Township

The race for Antioch Township assessor is already heating up, with incumbent Heather Kufalk-Marotta protesting her opponent's petitions, and challenger Gene Kryczka challenging Kufalk-Marotta's residency. Kufalk-Marotta says more than 185 names on Kryczka's nominating petitions are illegitimate, including two names of people who are dead and six names of people who have sworn affidavits saying they never signed the petition. She's lodged a complaint with the Lake County State's Attorney's office. Kryczka says that Kufalk-Marotta doesn't live at the Grass Lake Road address she claims, but really lives on West A Street in Antioch. He's filed a challenge with the electoral board.
