...McHenry County was the only county in the state to adopt the agenda, which he said appears to have become an afterthought, even for Rauner.
The union filed the lawsuit April 17, about a week after the County Board voted to approve a resolution backing Rauners agenda to reverse Illinois economic straits. Among other measures, the Turnaround Agenda sought to limit collective bargaining laws.
Local 150 alleged that enough board members attended an April 8, 2015, event with Rauner at the Woodstock Opera House to constitute an open meeting under state law, which requires 48 hours advance public notice. The lawsuit alleges that no such notice was given, and contends that union members were illegally barred from attending the event.
The County Board voted the next day, 16-5, to approve the nonbinding resolution after 90 minutes of opposition during public comment from a standing room-only audience of union members.
