As a Wilmette citizen, it is gratifying to see that justice was done. I know there are is very vocal (incredibly) small minority of people who objected to Referendum and that is their right in our democratic society. The Referendum was considered by the voters and approved and today a judge heard arguments from both sides and found the ballot language in compliance with applicable law and dismissed the Sorock lawsuit. I am not naive enough to think Mr. Sorock is done fighting, nor is he smart enough to know when to quit. That is sad because it is time for the conversation to return to educating our children.

It is interesting that Herb Sorock keeps using the word "we" to describe the decision-making and strategy in the case that bears his name. Sorock is beholden to the political agenda of outsider-lobbyists who know nothing of our community and our schools and who care nothing for Wilmette's best interests.

This is great news that the Court made the sensible decision and upheld the overwhelming will of the voters. It is truly unfortunate, however, that Mr. Sorock and his group will do everything in their power to thwart the voters of Wilmette by filing a frivolous lawsuit. I would suspect that he and most of his supporters typically decry "frivolous" lawsuits - except, of course in this instance when they are the ones filing the suit. It is also ashame that he and his group opposed the referendum by arguing that educational costs were out of control; and now he and his group are responsible for burdening our school district with the very real costs of defending against this frivolous lawsuit. Hypocrisy at its finest!

Mr. Canning, please sue Sorock for legal fees for his frivolous lawsuit.

I guess I should have said Dr. Lechner, however I am sure the Village of Wilmette has has to spend time on some type of complaint filed by Sorock

So glad this was tossed out. Agree, would be nice if Sorock and those who filed had to pay personally after their threat tactics of going after the members of the School Board personally (which was also tossed). Now I hope the district stewards out $s well...let's turn our focus to that, as it should've been since the vote.

Unfortunately it is back again. This man is draining the resources we would have used for the good of the community for his own selfish reasons. It is a tragic waste of money for the District to have to spend so much time, money and effort fighting this when it was voted for and supported by the community. He apparently can't lost gracefully and puts his own ego above the needs of the community.
