Senate kills county weighted vote plan in Illinois
The Illinois Senate failed by six votes to pass a plan for weighted township votes leaving three one man one vote proposals advancing in the Legislature. A House panel would redraw township lines so only one supervisor is elected per district while another measure would authorize counties to draw their own charters and redistrict supervisor districts. The House also backed by vote a constitutional amendment enabling county charters. In other action, mandatory retirement for most state employees aged 65 and a $0.75 billion appropriation package passed the House, with provisions to let some workers stay to age 72 and allow department heads to retain key staff up to a year beyond 65.
