Recently, during his State of the State, Governor Pritzker announced his budget initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year. These initiatives included language seeking to consolidate Townships. Since his address to the state numerous bills have been introduced in Springfield with that goal in mind. One such bill, SB2504, includes some of the most aggressive Township consolidation language we have ever seen. This includes reducing the petition threshold from the current 10% of registered Ela Township voters (33,536) to 5% of actual voters on the last Township election (roughly 5,100). Additionally, SB2504 gives power to county boards to pass a county wide referendum via a simple county resolution. Meaning, with no petitions, the fate of Ela Township would be in the hands of ALL Lake County voters.
