No one is sure what happens next, but by a vote of 5-4, the Village of Time will be dissolved.
“We don’t know much yet,” Joe Chiatello, president of the community, said. “We have Mike Hollahan working on it. I know the money in the general fund will go to the school district, but we had some money in the road and bridge fund. I don’t know if that will go back to the state. I hope we can give it to the township.”
In state races across the county, it was a Republican sweep, but only one of those results held statewide.
Pike voters picked Kathy Salvi for state senator, 75 percent to 21 percent for incumbent Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth won state wide.
Darren Bailey/Stephanie Trussell captured 81 percent of Pike’s votes for governor, but incumbent Governor. J.B. Pritzker and Juliana Stratton won state wide.
For attorney general, Thomas G.DeVore, collected 78 percent of the county’s votes. Democratic incumbent Kwame Raoul won the state.
Dan Brady collected 4,842 votes in Pike, compared to Alexi Giannoulias’ 1,039. Giannoulias won the state.
The same results were reported in the Illinois Comptroller’s race. Shannon Teresi, the Republican candidate had 4,521 Pike County votes, compared to Suzana A. Mendoza’s 1,344, but Mendoza won handily statewide.
Republican Tom Demmer had 76 percent of the vote in Pike County for state treasurer, but lost to Michael Frerichs, the Democratic incumbent.
For the Illinois representative in Congress, Mary Miller had 4,895 and went on to defeat Democrat Paul Lange.
Locally, Republicans had their way:
Republicans C.D. Davidsmeyer, representative and Jil Tracy, senator, both were unopposed but received 89 percent and 90 percent, respectively, endorsements from Pike voters.
Natalie Roseberry, incumbent for county clerk, won 3,242 to Shelley Brennecke’s 2,736 total.
Incumbent Scott Syrcle was also a winner for county treasurer, 4,681, compared to newcomer Gage Weir, 1,368.
David Greenwood, sheriff; and Cindy Shaw, accessor, were both unopposed. Greenwood collected 5,624 of the 6,127 votes cast. Shaw received 5,418 votes.
For county board, Andrew Borrowman was the top vote getter, with 4,866, followed by Mark Mountain, 4,738; Mark Sprague, 4,708; John Birch, 4,558; Jim Sheppard, 4,544; Reta Hoskins, 4,611; Thomas D. Lewis, 4,477; Donald Foster, 4,484; Derek Ross, 4,436.
Pike County voters voted to retain Judge Robert Adrian, 3,742 to 1,180 and Judge Scott Larson, 4,198 votes to 1,198.
