Instant replay? Activist group seeking second chance at placing advisory questions on ballot

URBANA – An Urbana group is seeking a special meeting of the Cunningham Town Board to consider putting two proposed advisory questions on the Nov. 4 ballot. And Urbana Mayor Laurel Prussing said she's less than pleased about it.

Durl Kruse said the group, calling itself Urbana Citizens for Instant Runoff Voting, submitted petitions signed by 28 voters last Friday to Urbana City Clerk Phyllis Clark. He said state law provides that a special township meeting must be held whenever at least 15 voters file a written statement requesting such a meeting as "necessary for the interests of the township."
