Last November over 80% of more than 6,000 voters said yes to the following question on the ballot:
“Shall voter approval be required before the Village of Winfield spends millions of dollars on a new village hall?”
The fact that the Village Board has ignored the will of the people after such a decisive result displays their arrogance and contempt for the voters that we are fighting against. Despite this overwhelming mandate, the current Board has dismissed the result as if it doesn’t matter- that you don’t matter. This is a clear example of how they have betrayed the very essence of democratic governance. Since members of the current Board do not understand, how can they represent those they oppose?
It is time to hold them accountable, so that they finally get your message loud and clear — one that they cannot ignore.
Unlike the current administration, we very much want to hear from you and have our actions reflect your concerns. This is why enormous effort has been put in to getting pertinent questions on the ballot, so we are able to truly represent our constituents.
