Goy, Ogtlvie Signs Biidget Bill
The Township Officials Associa¬ tion of Illinois hailed the signing by Governor Ogilvie of the township budget and levy bills passed by tho recent special session of the Illinois General Assembly.
Troy A. Kost, executive secre¬ tary, and John J. Nimrod, a director called the bills "'the most important township legislation to be adopted in years.''       ,
Kost explained that the two town¬ ship bills that passed place more than 1400 townships governmental units in  85  Illinois  counties under
provisions of tho state budgetary law for the first time. "This modernizes township gov- • ernmcnt by givini; it the same bud¬ get and levy rights as every other local governmental unit in the state such as cities, park boards and school boards, subject to the same controls and restrictions," Kost said. "It eliminates the danger of spe¬ cial interest groups stacking town meetings and makes township offi¬ cials answerable tc all the voteri for these important fiscal matters instead of just to those few who show up at the town meeting."
