!!!!!!!- UPDATE --ORDINANCE NO. 136-122006: Amend Section of the General Code of Winnebago County -UPDATE !!!!

I just received an updated and amended agenda for this Tuesday January 9, 2007 Special Orders meeting of the Winnebago County Board meeting.

On the agenda is reconsideration of Ordinance #136-12206, which created the map for supervisory districts for the April 2008 election, for County Executive Mark Harris has vetoed the resolution. The County Board will attempt to override the veto of the County Executive which I takes a 2/3 vote in favor by the Winnebago County Board.

In his veto message to the County Board he wrote the main reason for vetoing the resolution because there has not been a judicial determination whether the Board's action to create a 36-district plan or a plan to cut the Board to 19 supervisory districts will move forward. And he will not approve any map until the number of district is clarified.

I voted against the map at the December 19.2006 meeting and I plan to uphold veto of the County Executive on Tuesday.
