Turnout Low, Perfect for Passing a Tax Hike Referendum

Chances look good for the tax hike referendum to create a 337 Board to pass out more property tax dollars to agencies serving the Developmentally Disabled.

Currently the 708 Board provides about $1.5 million and various park districts in the area levy non-referendum taxes for NISRA, the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association, which provides recreational opportunities.

Some signs are outside the Fire House in Fox River Grove.

In Fox River Grove, only 354 out of 2900 people have voted.

110 out of 1600 in Nunda 15 in northern Crystal Lake.

69 voters out of close to 700 registered voters in Grafton 2, which is in Lakewood.

A low turnout is perfect for a mobilized minority to dominate an election.

  1. It would appear that all the lazy people , and it looks like there are alot in Mchenry county have more than enough money so are not concerned about more taxes. TOO LAZY TO VOTE. What a sad group.

  2. Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.
    ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

  3. Well said Zorro & Jackie.
