    Now they're going to come out (no pun intended) and say that it isn't fair because it wasn't put up to a vote for the people. Just you wait.

    Yup....so how much you want to bet. I can start a betting pool :slight_smile: I say $100 bucks it takes a month for them to try and get a referendum vote passed. (Since I believe it can't take less than a month)

    Ya know, I'm not completely sure on Illinois law, but we really don't vote on too many decisions, maybe I'm wrong but I can't recall the last thing that has come up to a referendum vote. Maybe if I feel like it I will look it up later.
