🚨 Sangamon County residents, this deserves your attention. ‼️
During the CyrusOne process, dozens of people showed up to speak about a massive project that will affect our land, roads, water, energy, emergency services, and future.
Many of them never got the chance.
Public comment was cut short.
A motion to allow more residents to speak was denied.
The project moved forward anyway.
That should concern every resident, regardless of party.
Public office is not personal allegiance.
Public office is public duty.
When elected officials are entrusted with decisions this large, the people deserve more than a process that feels rushed, controlled, or already decided. We deserve transparency. We deserve accountability. We deserve representatives who remember that public input is not a courtesy, it is part of democracy itself.
There is now a petition calling for a PUBLIC, RECORDED vote to remove:
• County Board Chair Andy Van Meter
• Democratic Caucus Leader Tony DelGiorno
Read it for yourself and decide where you stand:

If you believe public input should actually matter:
👉 Sign
👉 Share
👉 Make sure your neighbors see this
This is about conduct.
This is about public trust.
This is about whether the people of Sangamon County are heard before decisions are made in their name.
Neighbors, not strangers.
Public service is stewardship.
And stewardship requires accountability.
Remove Andy VanMeter as SCB Chair & Remove Tony DelGiorno as Democrat Caucus Leader
