Here is what they said.   “In the exercise of its supervisory authority, the Illinois Supreme Court has ordered the Appellate Court to vacate its prior order and ordered it to reconsider the issues.  It stated:  “The Appellate Court will not be flippant in its decision, but will act with the utmost decorum and give the issues the attention and consideration they deserve.  The Appellate Court will address the issues thoroughly and completely."  The court has given the current panel the option of reassigning the case to another panel, and stated:  "Failure to comply with this supervisory order in all respects will result in the Appellate Court's decision being summarily vacated and the cause remanded to a different panel of justices."   The underlined portions are the Illinois Supreme Court's emphasis.

 

What does this mean?  It means the recent Appellate Court decision to reverse their previous decision to stop the second dump application is not being allowed by the Illinois Supreme Court.  The Illinois Supreme Court is ordering the three Appellate Court judges involved in this case to go back and do their job instead of ignoring most of the issues argued against the dump.  If they fail to do so the Illinois Supreme Court will send the case to three different Appellate Court judges who will do the job.  This is a big set back for dump developers Fred Barbara and Tom Volini.
