McHenry County Board May Let Voters Have Say in Bar Slot Machines

And where is Boone County and Belvidere on this issue?  Will either board discuss or vote on the issue?

It conceivable that the McHenry County Board may allow citizens to vote whether they want slot machines and video poker in McHenry County.  It would be an advisory referendum, because the legislature only allowed binding referendums that are initiated by 25% of the voters in a county or municipality

The minimum that will happen is that the county board's License and Liquor Committee will hold a hearing on the evening of October 7 at the Administrative Center in Woodstock at 6:00PM.
