HUNTLEY – Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore avoided serving 30 days in jail after she recently turned over a $10,000 check to a Northbrook company to conduct a thorough audit of the township’s finances.

Last week, McHenry County Judge Michael Caldwell found Moore in contempt of court after she didn’t pay the $10,000 retainer to Northbook-based ECS Financial Services for a forensic audit that the Grafton Township trustees approved in November.

Moore was the lone dissenter in that vote, with Grafton’s four trustees all endorsing the audit.
