Clark Hill Attorney John Fogarty Receives Unanimous Decision from Illinois Supreme Court

Clark Hill attorney John Fogarty, counsel for the Committee to Oppose the Retroactive Term Limits Referendum, recently received a unanimous decision after the Illinois Supreme Court upheld an Illinois term limit statute for local officeholders that will allow Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson to stay in office and ultimately to run for re-election. Fogarty was pleased with the court’s decision.
