• Ex-Burr Ridge Official Warned About Political Signs (patch.com) — Burr Ridge officials warned former trustee Zach Mottl that his two identical campaign yard signs for county clerk candidate Paula Deacon Garcia violated the village's sign rules, threatening steep daily fines. Mottl altered one sign by hand and is weighing legal options, arguing the ordinance suppresses political speech. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions among Burr Ridge political figures and questions about the constitutionality of local sign regulations.
