Five to compete for three Roselle trustee seats

At least five candidates will vie for three open seats on the Roselle board of trustees on April 5.

During the primary filing period last month, incumbent Richard Rhode filed a nominating petition along with Roselle developer and Realtor Todd Eicholz, and Eleanor “Elly” Paletta as the Roselle United Party.

And when doors opened for the normal filing period Monday morning, incumbent trustee Barbara Rendall Hochstadt filed to run as an independent, while part-time Roselle firefighter Ron Baker also filed in the morning.

The seat held by Trustee Ron Sass also is up for election April 5. Village Clerk Patty Burns said Sass did pull a nominating packet and is expected to file sometime this week, although he did not file Monday morning.

In addition, Burns said, nearly 10 other residents pulled nominating packets for the open seats. None of them filed by Monday morning, however.
