Citizens fight against a backdoor referendum in DeKalb County.
On Feb. 17, the county board passed 22-1 an ordinance that allows the county to issue $45 million in bonds to finance expansions of the courthouse and jail.
residents have 30 days to file a petition asking that the issuance of the bonds be submitted to referendum.
Sycamore resident Josh Boies is coordinating such a petition effort and said he just wants voters to be given the chance to weigh in on the county’s proposal.
The petition needs 4,201 signatures to be valid, according to DeKalb County Clerk Sharon Holmes.
