The McLean County Board rejected a proposal that opposed providing tax-supported services for certain groups of immigrants.
WGLT writes:
The 13-to-7 vote followed nearly two hours of public comments before a standing room-only crowd. Of the nearly 50 people who addressed the board, almost all spoke against the proposal, with many calling it anti-immigrant, racist, and immoral. Others called it shortsighted for not embracing the economic benefits immigrants bring to a municipality.
