State Rep. Bob Rita sues Tinley Park, Orland Township, says he’s blocked from community events
State Rep. Bob Rita, D-Blue Island, speaks at a news conference June 27, 2023, in Tinley Park.
The lawsuit was filed Friday and cites a “consistent and systematic campaign” to prevent Rita from taking part in events such as the National Night Out Against Crime, scheduled to take place Tuesday in Tinley Park.The lawsuit also alleges village officials twice denied applications by Rita to hold shredding events last year in Tinley Park, something he had organized for several years prior.
The lawsuit cites an email Rita received this week from Walsh reversing course, telling the legislator the National Night Out event is meant to “honor law enforcement and I respectfully request that we refrain from any politics.”
