When all of the votes were counted, it was clear a majority of Coal City voters were not in favor of home rule.
On April 4, 81 percent of voters said no to the town’s proposal to become a home rule unit, a status that would have provided the Village Board increased local control and the ability to implement local taxes. Of the 922 votes cast on the issue, 747 were no.
