Senator Tom Cullerton’s Senate Bill
494
State Senator Tom Cullerton’s (D-Villa Park) proposal
to reduce government in DuPage County passed the Senate on Thursday. This
proposal gives the DuPage County Board the ability to consolidate smaller levels
of local government. "It's no secret Illinois has way too many layers of
government,” Cullerton said. “My goal here is to make DuPage County a leader in
streamlining government, while at the same time ensuring taxpayers get quality
services." Cullerton’s legislation, Senate Bill 494, allows the DuPage County
Board to dissolve many appointed positions to provide taxpayers with a smaller,
less costly and more efficient local government.
Senate President
John Cullerton’s Reaction to
Madigan’s Bill
Mr. Cullerton's
spokeswoman, Rikeesha Phelon, is out with a statement reacting to the Madigan
bill, and it sure looks like the fight is on between the two top Democrats.
“The speaker and Cullerton have the same goal with
different approaches,”the statement says. “Cullerton has worked to build
consensus for a plan that is clearly constitutional. To that end he has sought
to work with Republicans, members of his caucus and labor leaders.
