State Rep. Allen Skillicorn asked the Legislative Research Unit to detail what power at Annual Town(ship) Meetings by the General Assembly since 1960.
I have written previously about how the power to set township budgets was taken away from voters after electors in Algonquin and Nunda Townships cast votes township officials didn’t like.
That was anecdotal.
What you read in this report is not.
Yup, the township crooks like Jimmy ‘the Squeeze’ Condon, Booby Miller and Anita “Granny Gotcha” Sherwood had to prevent actual citizen control so townships could live on and one, oblivious to their own obsolescence.
