Concerned Citizens of Manteno: Robby Dube

From our attorney Robby Dube…

The Committee has moved to amend their complaint to add the new owner of the Gotion Property – 333 South Spruce LLC. The first court date is Valentine’s Day (2/14) at 9 AM where the court will also set a schedule for the case. We are still waiting for the Village and Gotion to answer the complaint or move to dismiss the lawsuit, but are confident that our complaint is strong and will withstand any challenge.

The courts don’t always move quickly, but our lawyers are doing everything they can to move this case quickly and ensure our community is protected from this dangerous plant.

Sincerely,

Robby Dube
Eckland & Blando

WE NEED YOUR HELP

In 2023, our elected officials cut a deal behind closed doors with Gotion, LLC to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Manteno, IL. This plant is estimated to receive over $7 billion in state and federal tax subsidies, and appallingly, Gotion is linked to the CCP and slave labor in China.

Taxpayers are subsidizing a national adversary tied to slave labor! We are fighting in court to stop the deal. So far, our small group has raised over $70,000 to fight this. We cannot do it alone! We need your help. Please donate whatever you can to our fight (donations are not tax deductible).
