Home Rule Down the Tube in Lakewood and Harvard

Home Rule Down the Tube in Lakewood and Harvard

With one-third of the precincts voting in Lakewood, the Home Rule proposal of the village board is going down 9-1. I haven’t seen margins like that since McHenry County voted 93% against the Regional Transportation Authority in 1974.

Home Rule is also losing again in Harvard. Last time voters rejected the proposal to give more power to the city council 2-1. With only one precinct out of six reporting, the “No’s” have 71%. It would take a minor miracle to turn that around.
