The Taxation and Elections Committee of the Vermilion County Board has delayed action on a new budget for the Danville Board of Election Commissioners. The committee voted unanimously to table action on the budget because Election Commission Executive Director Sandy Delhaye was not in attendance at the meeting.
Barbara Bailey, Chairwoman of the Danville Election Commission Board, was surprised by the delay….
{‘’This is something I’ve never heard of before – and I’ve been with the Election Commission since ’72 – stopped awhile and back again. And never had this happen.’’]
County Board member Jerry Hawker moved to table action on the budget and the committee members agreed. Hawker thinks there are ways of saving taxpayer dollars….
[‘’I believe that we could cooperate – that we could save money. Such as sending out our notices together – there are lots and lots of areas. But the Commission has just not been receptive to those incentives that I have been putting out there.’’]
The budget for the office will be reconsidered later.
