DuPage Storm Water Utility Fee

It isn't often that Republicans and Democrats agree on things but when it comes to supporting a storm water utility fee on all properties in DuPage County the Illinois State Senators from both parties that represent the voters in DuPage agreed that they could not support legislation that would allow these fees.  The list of elected Senators reads like the who's who of elected officials including Senator Dillard, Cullerton, Connely, Oberweis and Radogno.  Isn't it odd that legislation that only impacts our county is voted in place only by Senators that represent those outside our county? If all these Senators that live in counties that will not be impacted by these fees think it is such a great idea than before Quinn signs it into law then  they need to expand the fees to every county in Illinois.
