And another victory for the voters in my village.

VILLAGE OF HOMEWOOD IL

Implementation of home rule.

Yes 1,647
+ No 3,586

24 of 25 precincts counted

--Home rule would have really screwed us. As it is, a portion of the money that our village takes in is lumped into a general fund with other villages in Illinois that have less than 20,000 citizens. Some day, home rule might be a good thing for us, but not until the framework to do so is set. In this economy, it's best that we band together. We all thought that the vote would be much closer, but it was 2 to 1 against home rule. Excellent.--
