Suburban voters this week not only chose their leaders but voiced their opinions on how much power to give them.
Referendum questions on ballots Tuesday asked voters about measures that included whether elected officials should be allowed to hold more than one office at a time and whether specific communities should have home rule status.
A little more than 90 percent of DuPage County voters and 77.5 percent of Elmhurst voters said officials should not be allowed to hold two or more elected positions simultaneously.
DuPage County Chairman Dan Cronin said Wednesday the results send a clear message to those running for office and state lawmakers that it’s a bad idea.
