Algonquin Township To Consider Placing Township Elimination Question On Ballot

The Algonquin Township Board plans to vote on placing a referendum to dissolve the township and its road district in 2037 on an upcoming ballot. If approved, the question would be put to voters during the March 17 primary election. The referendum that would appear on the ballot would ask whether the township and road district should be dissolved as of May 18, 2037, with its property, assets, personnel, obligations and liabilities transferred to McHenry County. “Any genuine attempt to empower voters with regard to this issue should not be postdated nearly two decades into the future,” Algonquin Township Trustee Rachael Lawrence said.
