Relator filed petition for leave to file quo warranto complaint against member of school board, alleging that he was a convicted felon and thus ineligible to hold office per section 29-15 of Election Code. Board member's conviction was for a crime to which he pled guilty at age 17, possession of a stolen vehicle, and that offense was not an "infamous" crime, and thus section 29-15 did not apply.(CUNNINGHAM and CONNORS, concurring.)
