Vote in Porky Pig In cases where public office compatibility is not covered by Illinois statutes or constitutional provisions, the Illinois Attorney General (currently Lisa Madigan) is authorized to issue opinions to certain government officials on this subject. Although these opinions do not generally have legally binding effect as would a court decision, they are useful in guiding the actions of public officials and are often given great respect by the courts. The policies for requesting an Illinois Attorney General’s Opinion are outlined in the document located at http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/opinions/opinionpolicy.pdf . Many 'Compatibility of Offices' opinions have already been issued by both past and present Illinois Attorney Generals. See website http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/opinions/index.html for an index of Illinois Attorney General Opinions. When the duties of the office of township tax assessor and township highway department employee are such that no person can, in every instance, fully, faithfully and impartially perform the duties of both the official (township assessor) and the employee (township highway dept. worker) and/or where areas of potential conflict are too numerous, an incompatibility may exist. In this instance it is a matter of determining compatibility between an elected position within a township and a hired position within the same township. This is not so very dissimilar to the prior elected Nameoki Township Tax Assessor's 35 year employment status; one job hired, the other elected. A cited statute or constitutional provision addressing the compatibility would give a clear legal direction to be followed in this matter; neither has been provided to-date. In the absence of these, an official opinion by the Illinois Attorney General may prove to be helpful. Our legal system enforces the law; not ethics. And politics can certainly tear down enforcement of either or both. If it is the ethics (greed, lying, threats, deception etc.) that are disturbing in this matter, an elected official may not be the best resource. Then again, if the voters are relied upon at the next election, it's back to politics. _____________________________ If you are seeking to find the truth, follow the facts. If you are seeking to find corruption, follow the money.
