In a memo to DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy on May 7, DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek threatened to instruct the State’s Attorney to commence legal action if invoices approved by her office were not submitted and approved by the County Treasurer.
“We are concerned that the clerk’s office is not following Illinois state law and continues to not listen to or take the legal advice of our state’s attorney office,” the letter said. “This issue of the clerk not working with the county has come to a tipping point and now we are talking about hundreds of thousands of ‘taxpayers money’ that have no oversight or transparency.”
Conroy, in a memo sent to Kaczmarek on May 8, cited four invoices totaling nearly $224,000 that could not be paid without action from the clerk’s office, including $189,949 to Truly Engaging, a printing company contracted to supply mailing material related to the March 19 primary election. “This Board should not be in a situation where bills are not being paid, and this falls directly on , regardless of the procurement situation,” Conroy said. “These are signatures and a process that was set up by the clerk so this needs to be done.”
