Mr. Sherman must have the insides of bubble gum to claim his "emotional distress" is worth $100.000.00. I will happily pay the hundreds of dollars that actually goes to the Village from his taxes if he would just go away and not comeback! This guy is a publicity hound from the word Kvetch!

Sherman is looking for the Village to pay damages...I'm curious just what Mr. Sherman does for a living ? Does he live on monies that he's has received from these frivolous law suits? Just Curious.

Hey Sherman Thanks for letting My Famil knowy about the pig roast . Looks like a nice time .

"Hey, you forgot to let us know how you feel — please enter a comment." My response might result in another lawsuit.

I have ''emotional distress'' caused by Mr. Sherman and that goofy truck he drives
around in. I plan to file a lawsuit after I get back from the pig roast! God Bless America!

Can Mr Sherman be sued for being a complete moron?

ys everyone should file a lawsuit against Sherman

Wow. It's a shame that he can't take all his wasted energy and put it towards something meaningful like fighting poverty or hunger, helping children in foster care or battered women living in shelters, donating toys to children with terminal diseases, helping homeless pets be adopted inseat of euthanized, visiting lonely elderly people in nursing homs.

I want to countersue Mr Sherman for causing me - a fellow taxpayer in Mr Sherman's village - enough "emotional distress" to want to write this comment! Where do I start - and does anyone want to join-in against this putz?
I think my "emotional distress" could be worth about $100,000 here.
That's good enough to cover me from working hard at a real job, and having time to sit around [getting "distressed"] while thinking-up useless frivolous lawsuits against nice towns and it's residents. Eh?
Mr Sherman - I am not overtly religious nor an atheist - but whatever our belief system is... If you don't like to promote peaceful events (religious or not) where the whole community is invited to partake & enjoy... then PLEASE do us the favor of putting a "FOR SALE" sign in your front yard, ok?
Your fellow taxpayer neighbors don't need you stealing from the community chest for personal gain.

Better idea....let's run this clown out of the area the old cowboy way....soon.

I'd be curious to find out just how many suits over the years this guy has won, and what is the monetary amount? Might be interesting. And while on the topic of suits, well, judging from Squrimin Sherman's pic, he could use an update suit to wear. Looks like he is stuck in the 1970s. He gives bland a new meaning. Looks kinda like a leisure suit in an odd way.

The Village E-News has a clear, concise, AND 100% transparent Disclaimer that provides FULL DISCLOSURE of the contents of the E-News.

The words "and more" are broad enough for any competent attorney appointed to defend the village against this egrrgiously frivolous lawsuit by Rob Sherman.

The village is NOT endorsing any religion when its E-News carries an announcement advertising an upcoming pig roast at Hope Lutheran Church in Long Grove (which also included information on children’s activities and live music).

Mr Sherman is equally free to submit an announcement about his favorite atheist cult's activity which the village is free to select or reject for publication.

Illinois does need a statute that provides Illinois governmental units who prevail in frivolous lawsuits like this one.

Thanks goodness someone has the convictions of Mr. Sherman to stand up to this blatant disregard to the laws of this great country and to the constitution to which we all subscribe.

Mr. Sherman you claim to defend the constitution but you obviously don't understand it. The "Separation of church and State" was not to protect the public from religion but to gurantee there right to practice there religion of there choice without interference from the government (the reason our fore fathers came to this country)
By printing the about the Pork Roast at the Lutheran Church was letting community know of an up coming event no one said it was manditory to attend the public had a choice to attend or not as did you. Marie

I hope the lady who creates the e-news doesn't get into trouble for this. Community events are just that--community events. Last I heard, the churches and synagogues around BG are part of the "community."

Oh, and it's time to use a more current photo of Mr. Sherman. The one used has to be a minimum of 20 years old.

Sherman can't win. I Think the ACLJ* has argued cases like this before. The BG E-News is considered a "public forum." If the village only rejected the posting of CHURCH community activities, the BG village would be guilty of "viewpoint discrimination." *American Center for Law and Justice
