GOV, mental health commissioners with expired terms replaced

Tonight the Proviso Township board met and replaced members of the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission whose terms had expired. According to Trustee Tim Gillian four or five PTMHC trustees were replaced. One of the new PTMHC commissioners is Melrose Park trustee Arturo Mota.

Most (all?) PTMHC commissioners were serving past the expiration of their terms. The township supervisor, Kathy Ryan, has the responsibility of appointing commissioners. But the board was controlled by Ryan's opponents. In the past Ryan's candidates wouldn't be approved by the majority of the board and Ryan wouldn't nominate commissioner candidates the board would approve.

This is unconfirmed, but one source said Dan Coglianese, the Proviso Township treasurer of schools, is out as a PTMHC commissioner.
