[Peace] Our Revolution: Reelect Laurel Prussing TODAY for Urbana Mayor

[Robert Naiman]

The main thing about the referenda about our nursing home you need to know
for today is: it's not on the ballot today. It's on the ballot April 4.

Having said that: on April 4, there will be two questions on the ballot.
One question will be: do you support a property tax increase to support our
county nursing home. There, supporters of our county nursing home are
asking people to vote YES. The second question will be: do you support
selling or disposing of our Nursing Home. On that question, supporters of
our Nursing Home are asking people to vote NO.

Also, on March 22, Champaign County Democrats will be voting on whether to
endorse the referenda campaign to save our Nursing Home. Our petition to
the CC Dems on that is here:

@ChampaignCoDems: Vote to Save Our County Nursing Home

Finally, this is a website for the save-our-county-nursing-home campaign,
where you can get yard signs, more info, etc.:
