I guess advertising an outdated and now uncommon method of communication as your way to receive information is one way to make sure you don't get anything you don't want to read sent to you.

speedbump Posted December 20, 2022 at 05:02 PM Share Posted December 20, 2022 at 05:02 PM Effingham County passed their resolution last night, based on Iroquois County's. Williamson County passed a resolution in opposition this morning - unanimously as well - similar to the Perry County resolution that is up for vote Thursday. We might have to challenge Kevin to fire up his mapping skills again soon, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbump Posted December 20, 2022 at 05:16 PM Share Posted December 20, 2022 at 05:16 PM Todd, the Iroquois and Effingham versions are basically the same, the Williamson and Perry County versions are different from those (I submitted the version to my commissioner in Williamson County prior to hearing about the Iroquois treatise, but forwarded it as well for consideration).

One of which was working with gun control groups openly in prior events. Meeting the other night went great. I spoke personally too (was a bit nervous, been awhile since I spoke at something like this). 120-150 maybe showed up. Nothing was on the agenda, but it appears we will have a resolution in the near future. From what I was told, they have the votes to pass one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmyers Posted December 27, 2022 at 05:29 PM Share Posted December 27, 2022 at 05:29 PM The Madison County Board voted 22-4 Wednesday night to denounce House Bill 5855, which is up for consideration in the Illinois General Assembly. It’s known as the “Protect Illinois Communities Act.” The bill would essentially ban the sale, possession, or manufacture of a variety of semi-automatic weapons. The Illinois legislature could vote on the matter in January before its session ends. Madison County Board member Bobby Ross of Saint Jacob tells The Big Z why he sponsored the resolution opposing House Bill 5855. https://www.advantagenews.com/news/local/madison-county-board-opposes-state-assault-weapons-ban/article_66807b7e-81a9-11ed-9719-e79328c72bea.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbump Posted January 5, 2023 at 03:06 PM Share Posted January 5, 2023 at 03:06 PM Several other counties have this in progress, but have to post it on their agenda for the next meetings prior to official consideration. The counties passed thus far appear to be: * Iroquois * Effingham * Christian * Madison * Shelby * Williamson Any others out there which can be verified as passed?

Not officially, but the board meeting agenda should be published publicly. Contacting a board member by residents of the county to get it started is also encouraged.

Not necessarily. Most anticipated the bill #s changing and had caveats specifying "similar legislation." Going forward, some might change to the bill number du jour, others are going with full on preservation ordinances that use a blanket non-enforcement/ prosecution language for unconstitutional legislation.
