If you want to speak at this meeting you will have to threaten the County with contacting the Illinois Attorney General because they are violating your rights to address your government! (1st Amendment) They expect you to provide 24 hour notice, of course that provides them with 24 hours to counter whatever you want to say. Filing multiple complaints will urge the AG to rule faster and force the County to make a legal Public Comment policy. 24 hours isn’t it. 15 minutes before a meeting is all they need unless they really don’t want citizens speaking.
Tell Jack to demand your right to speak!
Jack represents District 6. Why is this meeting at 1:00 when lots of people are at work? Smell anything funny?
This website describes what wants to move in: https://hensondisposal.com/msw-transfer-station
If not here then where ? It has to go somewhere.
Further outside of town!
How about Ellsworth ?
Since I don’t live in town, ask someone who does
How about next door to county boards meeting room?
Pretty sure Jack voted to make giving public comment easier back in April. Check County Board minutes from then.
The official policy is still 24 hours. A lady was denied the right to comment because she didn’t give 24 hours notice.
Pretty sure that when Jacks not LARPing as an adult he’s more focused on the needs of BLM and de-funding the police than thinking about the residents living next to a garbage pit.
He probably still think’s George Floyd was murdered
Will Jack actually show up to that meeting?
