Northwest Herald reports, “A judge’s order to halt work on the Longmeadow Parkway road project over the possible presence of an endangered bumblebee has resulted in two headaches for [Algonquin, IL] Village President John Schmitt. The first . . . is the halt itself, and wondering whether the judge will extend the halt order this Friday [April 28]. The other is a Facebook post by the mayor that he called “self-deprecating fun,” but project foes interpreted as ridicule of their opposition to the toll bridge and highway project. There are now public calls for the mayor to resign.
