Research on State, Local Ballot Questions

When you go to vote (or better yet, when you check out your Sample Ballot ahead of going to vote), you’ll notice that in addition to the candidates, the ballot lists a few questions for you to answer.  One is to do with a proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution (people are calling it the “Safe Roads Amendment” or the “Transportation Lockbox”) and the other(s) have to do with the Naperville Township Road District.

I don’t have any recommendation for you as to how to cast your vote, but I do have some links to information so you can at least start thinking about the issues.

• Here, from WBEZ, is some background on the Safe Roads Amendment.
• And here is a collection of recent-ish articles from the Daily Herald around the topic of the Naperville Township Road District.

I hope those are helpful resources.
