Comment on McHenry Township residents vote to fund senior bus service through March 31

McHenry Township residents voted Friday for the township supervisor to allocate funding for the senior bus program. The township board voted to cancel the service in June, and the program was set to end Nov. 30. It now will run through at least March 31 after voters overwhelmingly approved a resolution that called for $100,000 to be transferred from the township general fund surplus to keep the service going. Township resident Don Kinsala said he thought it was “ridiculous” that the matter had reached this point. “I am a very, very senior citizen, and I am tired of coming here every couple of weeks for the same reason,” Kinsala said.
