The Myth vs. Reality of Local Control
County Board Republicans Place Referenda on the Ballot
Don't be fooled! The GOP County Board Members don't really want Home Rule, because it would dilute their power without achieving their goal of preventing the State from mandating programs or reforms. The Illinois General Assembly can easily strip or preempt county powers whenever it chooses. Not to mention that Home Rule would allow the County Board to set aside property tax caps and implement new fees and taxes.
So why are they putting these measures on the ballot? Because they know it will bring out their voters. WE MUST GET OUT AND VOTE UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT FOR CANDIDATES WHO AREN'T ABOUT EMPTY SLOGANS, BUT ABOUT WORKING TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE! Affording to live in McHenry County is getting increasingly hard for young families and workers. Let's fix that!
