ISLAND LAKE – Candidates of the “For the People” ticket are weighing options after suffering a blow last week to their appeal to put Charles Amrich, candidate for village president, on the April 9 ballot.

“We’re kind of keeping it close to ourselves right now,” said Mark Beeson, a fellow slate candidate who is running for village trustee. “We’re trying to figure out what the best plan of attack is and likely will commit to something [by the end of the week].”

The Lake County Circuit Court last Tuesday dismissed Amrich’s appeal on grounds of improper delivery of legal documents to the opposing attorneys and individuals involved in the case.
