The Haymarket drug treatment center filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Village of Itasca.
The Haymarket drug treatment center filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the Village of Itasca, claiming itsproposed for a former hotel amounted to discrimination against people with substance-use disorder.
“I do not live here to have children exposed to abnormal behavior,” reads one message cited in the complaint. “If so, I would have stayed in Chicago. There’s enough crimes in the metropolitan area, do we need to add it to our small town?” “The intentional and orchestrated discriminatory conduct across Itasca’s key governmental entities is designed to interfere with the rights of Haymarket Center, the people with disabilities it serves, and their families,” attorney Mary Rosenberg of Access Living, an advocacy center for the disabled that is representing Haymarket in the lawsuit, said in a statement announcing the lawsuit.
