This case presents question as to whether trial court properly dismissed for lack of standing plaintiffs-private citizens' action seeking from defendant-issuer of public official’s bond to collect $1,000,000 bond proceeds to cover losses incurred by plaintiffs for alleged conspiracy committed by County’s Treasurer/County Collector who allegedly rigged tax lien auctions that resulted in delinquent taxpayers paying maximum amount of allowable interest to defendants to discharge tax liens and redeem their properties under circumstances where said defendants had allegedly provided financial support to County Treasurer/County Collector. Trial court found that plaintiffs lacked standing to sue under public official bond because County itself was named obligee on bond, and Appellate Court affirmed, after finding that plaintiffs could not seek recompense for county official’s alleged wrong-doings through direct action against bond’s security.
