Nine alleged members of the Executive Committee of the Veterans Assistance Commission of Will County have been sued by a Delegate and Alternate to the Veterans Assistance Commission.
Plaintiffs have both been selected and appointed as members of the Veterans Assistance Commission for 2022 by their Veteran Service Organization (“VSO”), and the Defendants claiming membership have not been selected by any Veteran Service Organization in 2022 as state law requires.
