Carpentersville makes English official
http://www.dailyherald.com/news/cooksto ... c=c&tc=&t=
Carpentersville trustees passed a resolution Tuesday night declaring English the village’s official language.
Amid cheers, boos and hisses from the more than 100 people who packed the board room, trustees amended the declaratory ordinance to read as a resolution.
But don’t expect anything to change now that trustees have approved the measure by a 5-2 vote.
Since the measure is in the form of a resolution, or non-binding, the village will continue to provide a number of documents and conduct village business in languages other than English, village leaders said.
Regardless of the label, Trustee Judy Sigwalt said the measure’s adoption equals success.
