McHenry County Submits Stimulus Package Possibilities

There is no official way to submit proposals for the new stimulus package, so an association of the largest counties in Illinois took it upon themselves to develop their own list.

County Administrator Peter Austin emailed me,

“We submitted it as a part of the Metro Counties organization to CMAP (a combination of the old NIPC and CATS) and the IL Senatorial Task Force called for by Senator (John) Cullerton and Chaired by Senator (Michael) Bond.”

Below is what McHenry County government submitted:
