The Lawrence County Board, meeting in regular session, has moved to join over 60 other Illinois counties in a federal lawsuit filed against a collection firm based in Chicago.
The action was taken by the board after consulting with States Attorney Brady Waldrop in executive session.
The counties are suing Integrity Investment Fund, LLC, a limited liability company, in federal district court in southern Illinois over their actions in seizing property across the state for the purpose of collecting delinquent property taxes. This is despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that such action is an unconstitutional taking of the owners' property via the Fifth Amendment. The Illinois Attorney General's Office is also among those involved in the legal action.
