Citing several spending and management issues, Lisle Township trustees have taken a vote of no confidence against Supervisor Diane Hewitt. The first-term supervisor disputes the board members' claims against her.
Two years into her first term, Lisle Township Supervisor Diane Hewitt finds her one-time running mates asking for her resignation.
Hewitt said she has no intention of stepping down, adding that the lack of confidence is a two-way street with the board.In the four-page resolution, trustees outlined various concerns regarding the supervisor: spending money that exceeds the township's budget and without board approval, moving the township clerk's office without board approval, and spreading false information, and creating an environment of mistrust and hostility.
While the board and other township elected officials have criticized her lack of leadership, Hewitt points to the efforts she has led since taking office. "I think she's doing a good job," said Gerry Galloway, who previously led the Lisle Township Democrats."Do I think she's done a perfect job? No. But I think she's done a good job, and I know she works her butt off. I don't know anyone else who would work harder than her."
In addition, trustees criticized Hewitt's handling of township finances. They say Hewitt never sought board approval for $20,000 to print and mail a newsletter, even though trustees must sign off on expenses of more than $5,000.
