The following comment from “Cheap Goat” sounds like a legal opinion to meL
The “McHenry County Equitable Standards and Government Efficiency Law” is as phony as a three dollar bill.
It’s special purpose legislation.
And special purpose legislation is expressly prohibited by our state constitution:
ARTICLE IV, SECTION 13. SPECIAL LEGISLATION. The General Assembly shall pass no special or local law when a general law is or can be made applicable. Whether a general law is or can be made applicable shall be a matter for judicial determination.
Accordingly, Rep. Yingling is correct: county issues can be addressed only on an omnibus basis, not by specific county name. (Franks and McSweeney don’t know that?)

Re: “(Franks and McSweeney don’t know that?)”
It is worse – they don’t care!
Franks is a bully by nature and will totally ignore current law / rules to get what he wants.
McSweeney just go thrown ‘under the bus’ but I doubt his ego will allow him to see it.
What properties are to get rebates?
Investor owned rental homes?
Nope.
Not apartments nor all owner-occupied homes.
Primary this foolish dope of a man!
He’s sunk so low and made a deal with the demon spawn.
