A coalition including the McHenry County League of Women Voters is trying to get enough signatures to put a reapportionment alternation amendment to the Illinois Constitution on the ballot this fall.
The man whose photo you see here has been at the Crystal Lake train station collecting signatures.
Who is this energetic citizen whose photo was taken by a Friend of McHenry County Blog?
Meanwhile local Democratic State Representative Jack Franks is trying to alter his image in the reapportionment game.
He is sponsoring a Constitutional Amendment that would remove himself from the very active role he played in drawing his own district lines after the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census.
Click on the title of the article below to see what Franks did in the past:
WOW!
Truly, grateful to see the people out there working for reform and better government.
Thank you!
Answer: He’s just a mercenary who gets paid $1 for each valid signature.
He works the whole NW rail line …
I’ve talked to the chap.
I’d be quite surprised if he could spell ‘gerrymandering,’
Seems to me that a referendum on “term limits” would be far more appreciated by the ordinary folks.
Gerrymandering will only stop completely if a computer is programmed by outsiders to form the districts.
Boxes, present legal boundaries, rivers and lakes, population, but no consideration for past voting or any other political nonsense.
A commission would still have some bias no matter who appoints them.
Franks is a hypocrite and a Madigan ass hat puppet.
VOTE HIM OUT!
