County Board of
Trustees votes
against Gillman
petition
By Byron Painter
Editor
Monday night, the Sangamon County
Board of Trustees voted 6-0 against a
proposal to annex 40 acres of land from the
Tri-City School District to Riverton.
The land, owned by Bruce Gillman, is
already part of the Village of Riverton after
being annexed last October. It is located
near the village’s sewer plant.
Tri-City superintendent Dave Bruno felt
his district’s case was strong, and the board
agreed.
“I thought we had proved our case,” he
said. “I thought we would win without a
doubt.”
The trustees gave several reasons for
their decision, including there would be no
current students involved and no benefit to
a student to attend Riverton over Tri-City
despite the proximity of Riverton schools to
the land, which will be provided in writing to
the involved parties.
Gillman attorney Phillip Reed declined
comment Tuesday through his secretary.
If Gillman and Reed decide to appeal,
that appeal would be heard by a judge,
though no further information would be
provided.
That judge would make the decision
solely based on the transcripts.
One trustee was absent. (From April 10,
2008 edition)
