Board member; Thank you for your proposal to start a recycling program, Mr. and Mrs. Newman. Board member; From a procedural standpoint, you need to have a petition signed by a minimum of 250 town citizens. Board member; We do insist that they are current residents and they are, in fact, still living. Board member; And we will be especially suspicious of any surnames from: Von Trapps, Partridges, Swiss Family Robinsons and/or Smurfs.
All of those would be acceptable in Illinois if presented by democrat. If presented by a republican, you need to have at least twice the number of petitions required because they’ll find some excuse to disqualify them.
