Petition to abolish county coroner in Illinois heads for ballot
Union County filed a petition with more than 5000 signatures seeking to place a referendum on eliminating the county coroner's office on the November general election ballot. The Board of Commissioners will review the petitions Monday. Franklin County Farm Bureau members discussed abolishing the office but lack of funds blocked a ballot. Perry County citizens also shelved plans due to time and process hurdles.
