Township ballot questions look at national issues

Voters in the townships that include most of Champaign and all of Urbana will get an opportunity to weigh on some national issues in the Feb. 5 primary.

Additionally, Champaign voters also will be able to vote on whether they agree with the decision last year to cut funding to general assistance recipients in City of Champaign Township, and whether they think the town board should actively pursue "any and all means available to them" to help those residents living in extreme poverty.
