More than four months after the village of Broadview won a court battle against a group of investors who have been trying to build a strip club in the village, those investors have rekindled the fight. On Oct. 4, attorneys for the investors, known collectively as Chicago Joe’s Tea Room LLC, filed a motion in federal court, “asking U.S. District Judge John Z. Lee for leave to amend their original lawsuit, to ask the judge to strike down a 2007 Illinois law the Chicago Joe’s group contends violates its First Amendment rights,” according to a report by the Cook County Record. On June 29, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge Lee’s decision See CHICAGO JOE’S on page 7
