Scott Cousins at The (Alton) Telegraph:

EDWARDSVILLE – The Madison County Board took the step Wednesday night to pass a resolution that places a nonbinding advisory referendum regarding separating Chicago and Cook County from the rest of the state of Illinois. The referendum will be on the ballot for Madison County voters on Nov. 5.  The board passed the resolution by a 15-7 vote with little explanation from board members for supporting it. Voting in favor were Fred Michael, Stacey Pace, Frank Dickerson, Valerie Doucleff, Michael Turner, Robert Pollard, Mike Babcock, Terry Eaker, Mob Meyer, Denise Wiehardt, John Janek, Ryan Kneedler, Paul Nicolussi and Chris Guy. Of the 15 votes to pass the resolution, 14 came from Republicans. Pollard was the only Democrat to vote in favor of the resolution.  Most of the people voting in favor of the resolution gave no reason Wednesday night for their support of the resolution. Dickerson, R-Worden, and Eaker, R-Bethalto, both said voters in their districts were “overwhelmingly” in support of the referendum.

Voting no were Michael “Doc” Holliday, Bill Stoutenborough, Shawndell Wilson, Matt King, Victor Valentine, Alison Lamothe, and Nick Petrillo. Bobby Ross, Mick Madison, and Charles “Skip” Schmidt were absent. “I’m amazed this issue has come as far as it has,” Stoutenborough said. Stoutenborough said the idea of splitting the state was unpatriotic, a theme of several people during public speaking, and he stood to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, with some others on the board joining him. Stoutenborough tried to table the issue, but that motion failed by a vote of 12-10. The referendum will read “Shall the board of Madison County correspond with the boards of other counties of Illinois, outside of Cook County, about the possibility of separating from Cook County to form a new state and to seek admission to the Union as such, subject to the approval of the people?”

Last night, the GOP majority on the Madison County Board voted 15-7 on a nearly party-line vote to put the unpatriotic and economically ruinous separation referendum on the ballot in the November election. Robert Pollard was the lone Dem to vote in favor of putting it on the ballot.

The referendum is a symbolic vote, and I hope people vote against it come November.

Now-former Madco Dems chair Randy Harris said it best: "This is not a serious proposal."

Cosmic Christ Mosaic-Huntsville, Alabama

The First Baptist Church of Huntsville is home to a fantastic mosaic officially titled “Cosmic Christ.” Still, it is colloquially known as “Eggbeater Jesus” because the bottom part of Jesus’s body resembles a whisk. The mosaic was inspired by Huntsville being the home of NASA’s Marshall Space Center and the United States Space and Rocket Center, and by a Bible passage that referred to a ‘cosmic…

NC school district puts AR-15s in all schools

NC school district puts AR-15s in all schools

Even though I used to live in North Carolina, I don’t know much about Madison County. I lived in the Charlotte area, which is worlds away from Madison County. From what little research I’ve done, Madison County is one county over from Asheville. If you’re not familiar with Asheville, it’s said to be the North Carolina version of Austin, Texas. However, it seems the blueness of Asheville doesn’t…

Interns' Day Out

With the interns of the Museum of Danish America working within various parts of the museum (Kelsey in Collections, Anders in Communications, and Cooper with the Prairie), it is rare that we all get to work and experience new things together. This is why it was so fun and enriching to explore Winterset, Iowa and some of it's museums.

Along with MoDA Registrar, Julia, we visited the Madison County Historical Complex, Iowa Quilt Museum, and John Wayne Birthplace & Museum. These three museums offered a look into the many ways heritage sites are operated and can engage with public. We all had such a good time and I hope that we are able to have more outings where all of the interns can gather together.
