McHenry County Judge Michael Caldwell on Friday told Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore to sign a contract for audit services and issue the $10,000 check to pay for it, or serve 30 days in jail for contempt of court, the Northwest Herald reports.

Caldwell said Moore can't refuse to sign contracts just because she disagrees with them. Moore won't …
