Senator Pemberton introduces county option bill in Illinois Senate
Senator Pemberton introduced a bill substituting county for township for anti saloon area votes. The measure allows 25 percent petition to trigger a county option vote with a three year six month result period. If passed it would take effect 80 days after the election. Indiana already uses a similar plan and expands locals’ drink controls.
