Madison County Illinois Treasurer Kurt Prenzler argues that the county’s top legal officer has a conflict of interest in representing him in a suit seeking damages for an alleged tax sale and bid-rigging scheme.
On Thursday, Prenzler filed a petition seeking a new attorney other than one from the State’s Attorney’s office because he has been an outspoken critic of that office in its handling of issues.
In his petition, Prenzler notes that the State’s Attorney has not performed any misconduct, but argues that a conflict of interest exists.
As a result, he requests the court to allow him to choose his own attorney, to be paid for out of either the State’s Attorney budget or the Madison County Treasurer budget.
