Town President Larry Dominick can remain on the Feb. 26 ballot, an election board ruled unanimously Wednesday, the Sun-Times is reporting.
The three-member panel ruled against challengers who were trying to get Dominick tossed off the Cicero ballot for unpaid license and permit fees.
Those challengers, including Juan Ochoa, alleged Dominick was a partner in a plumbing company owned by George Hunter, and that the company owes the town for years of business licenses.
The challengers also alleged that Dominick built or expanded a new garage at his home, but didn't have permits and didn't pay the permit rate to the town.
Dominick testified last week that he and Hunter — who have known each other for more than two decades — have never done business together.
