EDWARDSVILLE - On Monday, the bi-partisan Madison County Government Relations Committee approved a map proposed by Committee Chairman Chris Guy (R-Maryville) to reduce the county board, resulting in saving taxpayers 10%.
“Tonight we cleared the first hurdle with bipartisan support to reduce the board by three seats, save taxpayers 10%, and provide substantially equal representation throughout the county,” said Government Relations Committee Chairman Chris Guy. “Reducing government doesn’t happen too often. Pending approval by the full county board, a reduction to the county board will be a victory for the taxpayers in Madison County.”
