Champaign County, IL

Champaign County, IL: (Jun-05-07) Curt Deedrich, Champaign County's supervisor of assessments, filed suit against the county, following his alleged wrongful dismissal. The county claimed that Deedrich changed a township assessor's work on a Mahomet gravel pit and environs in 2006 without informing the assessor. In March 2007, he misrepresented the work to be performed by another official, used e-mail to urge legislators to investigate an Illinois Department of Revenue practice about the exempt status of hospitals, suggested school districts could sue the county on instant assessment, and gave instructions to township assessors that may not be in accordance with the law.

As part of the settlement reached, the county agreed to pay Deedrich $100,000, $61,000 is for the salary for the year that the supervisor had left on his contract; the rest is for benefits and legal fees. [NEWS GAZETTE: ASSESSOR DISMISSAL]
