Campton Hills trustee-elect Timothy Morgan vows to be seated despite 2002 Michigan DUI conviction nwherald kcchronicle
Morgan previously deferred taking his oath of office at the May 2 Campton Hills Village Board meeting because Kane County State's Attorney Jamie Mosser had warned him that a 2002 felony DUI conviction in Michigan made him ineligible.
Mosser also told village officials at the time that Morgan was ineligible to hold municipal office in Illinois because of his past felony conviction. "We presume he will appear in person at the meeting and claim he is lawfully entitled to his seat," Shepro said. Morgan said the Joliet case does not apply to him because"those were infamous crimes."
The sentence continues -- which is the part Morgan is relying on:"unless such person is again restored to his or her rights of citizenship that may have been forfeited under Illinois law as a result of a conviction, which includes eligibility to hold elected municipal office, by the terms of a pardon for the offense, has received a restoration of rights by the Governor, or otherwise according to law.""I did my time and everything I had to do and then some," Morgan said.
