Reporter Brian Brueggemann and the Belleville News-Democrat understand about providing complete information to their readers.
In an article on www.BND.com Brueggemann wrote about interest there in Illinois State Representative Paul Evans' bill to dissolve the East St. Louis election authority. You can read the article here
Only seven cities in Illinois have their own election authorities. They are East St. Louis, Peoria, Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, Danville and Bloomington. The voters in Chicago will never have a chance, but those in the other six cities might have at least a slim chance of abolishing their election authorities, if they made up their minds to.
What is remarkable about Brueggemann's article? He included the House Bill number, so that readers could easily find it (at www.ilga.gov) and read it for themselves. The bill is H.B. 4035.
A big thank-you to Brian Brueggemann!
