ISLAND LAKE – Residents vented their frustrations with the village’s electoral board during a Thursday hearing to determine whether two candidates for municipal office are qualified to be on April’s ballot.

“I have never seen such a colossal waste of my money in my entire life as these proceedings are,” Greg Jenkins said. “ ... I’m absolutely dumbfounded that my tax dollars, my tax money is going to this charade. This is absurd.”

The hearing regarding objections filed against Charles Amrich, candidate for village president, and Anthony Sciarrone, a trustee candidate, will continue Feb. 4.
