Municipal officials on a con-con...

Let's start with an article from the Naperville Sun...

While the Illinois Municipal League hasn't officially taken a formal stance, several local officials oppose a constitutional convention.

Channahon Mayor Joe Cook said he's worried that a convention would open up the whole constitution, meaning there would be no guarantee that even sound provisions would stand.

"Do you really want the same people who can't run the state having the ability to open up the whole constitution?" he asked.

And now the official position from a suburban municipality regarding a state con-con courtesy of the Grayslake Review...

Grayslake trustees are recommending a "yes" vote for a state constitutional convention. The question will be on the November 4 ballot.

Grayslake trustees are in favor of the latest effort.

"I believe our state government is broken," said Trustee Jeff Werfel. "I think we need some fundamental act like this to affect change."

Mayor Tim Perry agreed, saying, "The people in Springfield are so much against this because it contains the power of recall."

Illinois has over 6,900 units of government, far more than any other state in the nation, according to a pamphlet from Secretary of State Jesse White. Delegates to a convention could propose consolidating state and local government offices to reduce this number and streamline government. Voters must approve any changes that would be recommended.

There you have it two different positions from those who serve in local governments in the state of Illinois. One doesn't have much faith that a con-con can't change state government. The others does seem to think that state government can fix itself and a con-con is probably the last best hope to change state government.
