Progressive districting proposal sparks River Forest debate
River Forest trustee William Rowder advocates gradual shift toward representative governance inspired by Winnetka caucus model. He proposes voting districts, district trustees, district meetings, at-large village president, and phased expansion, while urging stronger citizen committees and cautioning against rapid overhaul. Oak Park contrasts with calls to reform election timing and governance continuity. Mario Reda, sociology professor at College of Du Page, writes in WORLD.
