Anti-township activists push statewide referendum bid

The Rock Island based Township Study Group leads a news conference proposing a statewide referendum and ethics code to abolish townships, while Township Officials of Illinois defend local governance and resist expansion of anti township measures. The effort aims to place a 1994 general election question on abolition and follows previous failed county and state attempts with ongoing legal and lobbying actions.

Groups push statewide ethics code for townships

Springfield reports a Rock Island group urging a seven point ethics code for townships, with supporters from Astoria based Township Officials of Illinois. The debate centers on whether a code should apply to all local government or single out townships, amid nepotism and double dipping concerns and calls to use state standards for contracts and welfare programs.
