Not good

Jeff Tomczak’s year just keeps getting worse by the day.

He got caught in the middle of a nasty state House race when he appeared to endorse each side’s completely polar opposite argument.

Then, his father was indicted in connection with Chicago’s Hired Truck scandal.

Less than a week later he lost his re-election bid for Will County State’s Attorney to a guy everyone figured was washed up years ago.

Less than a week after that, his wife, who is a judge, left him and filed for divorce.

And now he’s being sued.

Two former and one current trustee from the New Lenox Fire Protection District recently filed a lawsuit alleging they were slandered by former Will County State’s Attorney Jeff Tomczak and one of his assistants. […]

The lawsuit is related to events in 2003, according to court documents. While serving as trustees, the men used a fire district computer and several sheets of paper to challenge the candidacy of Kiebles’ opponents in the April election.

Tomczak was state’s attorney at the time, and his office issued warrants for the trustees’ arrest and charged them with official misconduct.

Hedke, Fronek and Kiebles believe Tomczak had them arrested to retaliate against a change that had been made by the trustees, according to court documents.[…]

Hedke and Fronek subsequently lost the 2003 election, according to the lawsuit. The charges filed by Tomczak damaged the trustees’ reputations and destroyed their re-election campaigns, according to court documents.

In late March 2003, Chief Judge Steve White ruled there was no probable cause to arrest Hedke, Fronek and Kiebles and dismissed the charges.[…]

“I will expect that the (latest) suit will go away in the same manner as the federal suit,” Tomczak said Thursday.

The next time you think you got problems, just be thankful you ain’t Jeff Tomczak right now.
