2nd. Ward Alderman John Balen Dies

[Danno]

According to the Illinois Municipal Code the mayor is to select a qualified person to fill the vacancy within 60 days. The council then has 30 days to approve or disapprove. If they disapprove then the mayor has to select another qualified person. A new alderman will then be elected in the April 2009 election for the remainder of Balen's term. Any guesses out there who the mayor will select?
