City of Batavia issued the following announcement on Oct. 23.
As you head to the polls, you may want to read the results of this study from Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies which finds that:
• “A national study produced no evidence that home rule governments have higher per capita tax revenues or government spending”
• “Home rule has little effect on daily government performance”
• “Home rule cities and villages have and use a wider range of strategies to employ in cutting budget deficits”
• “Communities with home rule authority have better bond ratings”
