Roger Agpawa To Be Sworn In Again As Markham Mayor

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A south suburban mayor will be sworn in again.

Last month, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled Markham Mayor Roger Agpawa can stay in office, despite a 1999 mail fraud conviction.

Agpawa won office in 2017, but fought more than half his first term to be sworn in.

Then-governor Bruce Rauner restored Agpawa's right to hold office.

But earlier this year, a state appeals court ruled Rauner didn't have the power to do that.

Three weeks ago, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed that ruling.
