Harmony Plan in Wilmette Pushes Cooperation over Faction
In Wilmette the Harmony Convention system aims to curb factionalism and expand citizen input in village politics. It describes a multistep process with a Call Committee, Creative Committee, and Nominating Committee to select candidates, while voters decide on policy questions when no referendum is required. Proponents argue the plan frees candidates from worn clash and ensures office seekers are committed to public duty, urging residents to support nonpartisan cooperation over entrenched cliques.
