The Belvidere Township’s decision to not donate to the Belvidere Boone County Pantry may have cost it tens of thousands of dollars more in legal fees last year.
The fees added up to more than $45,000 in 2012.
The board voted in late December 2011 against giving $5,000 to the pantry in Capron because it’s a private organization.
Supervisor Patrick Murphy said the decision started a snowball of public scrutiny, with more residents questioning every action at meetings and filing burdensome Freedom of Information Act requests.
