| basis to the fastest growing school districts in Illinois; his |
| 22 |

| WHEREAS, Dr. Dodds has always been vocal and tenacious in |
| 26 |
| his attempt to fund schools locally by referenda and by |
| 27 |
| advising his State legislators to never give up on another |
| 28 |
| method of State funding, namely the income tax; therefore, be |
| 29 |
| it
