Even as we speak, President Lincoln Toddler is mobilizing the Army of the Potomac Sanitary and Shipping Canal to bring the Confederate suburban forces to heel:
*Palatine Township: disconnect from Cook County. Yes 9,684 No 3,503 (85 of 92 precincts, advisory only)
*Barrington Township: disconnect from Cook County. Yes 942 No 477 (12 of 14 precincts, advisory only)
*Hanover Township: disconnect from Cook County. Yes 3,492 No 2,021 (50 of 57 precincts, advisory only)
At least one of these townships conducted a study that purported to show they sent $18 million to the Cook County government and receive just a $4 million dollar return for roads, court services and other assorted minutiae. If they secede from Cook County, they can rebate their tax base some portion of the $14 million difference or offer up more and improved services to their taxpayers.
Stroger on the other hand, would have to make up $14 million from the remaining Cook County population just to pay his cousins. If all three townships carry through on the process, the hole in Stroger's budget might top $50 million.
