Re-establishing law and order? What do you propose?
In large part it is overzealous law enforcement that has Waukegan in the hole it's currently in.
The City lost a $9 Million wrongful conviction lawsuit. That just happens to be about the same amount of the the city's budget struggle.
It's known as Dominguez v. Hendley and The City of Waukegan

To further screw things up the Hyde Administration did not give the citys insurer timely notice of the lawsuit and the insurance company did not have to pay the $9 million. It took 28 months for the city to notify the insurance company that they were being sued for wrongful conviction. Who's job was it within the Hyde Administration to do this? Ray Vukovich, Director of Governmental Services come to mind.
