EDWARDSVILLE - Madison County Government Relations Committee Chairman Chris Guy (R-Maryville) filed a 26 seat map for the public to view and provide feedback. The proposed map would reduce the board and save taxpayers thousands.
“The map under consideration would reduce the board by three seats, save taxpayers 10%, and provide substantially equal representation throughout the county,” said Government Relations Committee Chairman Chris Guy. “I encourage the public to provide feedback on the proposed map as this opportunity only takes place once every ten years as a result of state law.”
