We are the first. ✅ A few highlights: The use of the funds for SROs & mental health was effective 8-23-19. Our first successful referendum was prior to this date so we had to run a second referendum to allow for this use. A local control vote how we can use the funds.
First county in the state to achieve this! Maybe other counties have it on the ballot too this election. Still have to fact check that. We passed our original referendum before the use for SRO or mental health professionals was allowed. @IllinoisASA @brendenmoore13 @vandals203
