The McLean County Board Executive Committee held its last of three public hearings Monday on establishing the number of County Board districts,
McLean County would have to get voter approval to expand to 20 County Board districts this year, effectively killing a plan several Democrats and allies pushed during the county s redistricting hearings.
After more than 40 people addressed the County Board Executive Committee during three public hearings over the last two weeks, McLean County Assistant State s Attorney Christopher Spanos clarified the County Board could not change to a one-board-member-per-district plan on its own.
“Make no mistake, a 20-member single-member district plan passed by the McLean County Board would be unconstitutional,” Spanos told the committee.
