Supreme Court turns away O'Hare cemetery case
Legal News Center
The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to review a lower court decision in favor of Chicago's acquisition of a cemetery that's in the path of a planned runway in the $15 billion O'Hare International Airport Modernization Program.
Spokesman Joseph Tybor says the court's decision means the appellate court decision stands.
Earlier this month, Chicago Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino said the city planned to resume unearthing bodies at the cemetery as soon as the Supreme Court made a decision in its favor.
Plans call for the 900 buried at St. Johannes Cemetery in Bensenville to be relocated.
Attorney Joseph Karaganis, who represents cemetery owner St. John's United Church of Christ, says Wednesday's decision is technically "not the end of the line" for the issue, but is pretty close to it.
