Dixmoor mayor may face election challenge from former trustee in April

Dixmoor Mayor Fitzgerald Roberts may face a challenge from former Trustee Cynthia Mossuto in the April election, pending a review of her nominating petition. Mossuto is running with a slate called Dixmoor United, which includes candidates for clerk and trustee positions. A challenge to the Dixmoor United slate's petitions has been filed by Ira Rolark, who is also running for trustee. Cook County is currently verifying the signatures on the petitions, which will be reviewed by separate electoral boards for each position. Roberts, seeking a second term, aims to continue infrastructure improvements and address water issues in the village. Mossuto emphasizes the need for transparency and better communication with residents, citing ongoing water problems and limited access to meeting information.
