Email On August 6, 2020, an Illinois appellate court ruled that a petition by political activist John Tillman seeking leave to invalidate approximately $16 billion of Illinois’s general obligation bonds (“GO Bonds”) should be permitted to go forward. The Fourth District Appellate Court of Illinois reversed an August 2019 order by Judge Jack D. Davis, II, who had held that the challenged bonds did not violate a provision of the Illinois Constitution requiring long-term debt to be for a “specific purpose” and who had indicated more broadly that the validity of the bond issuances constituted “a non-justiciable political question.” https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/illinois-appeals-court-reignites-go-bond-challenge
