Interesting, I like the idea of a new county for the suburbs, but am scratching my head thinking what town would be the county seat. Lots ways that could go. Just call it cook and Chicago could be its own county/city.

I don't know why the panhandle didn't just join DuPage. When they seriously looked at it back in 07 or so they got discouraged by the startup costs.

That's exactly the problem. I remember the CC board President saying he wouldn't stop it. But it would have resulted in huge tax increases for residents of the new County.

They looked at forming a new county called Lincoln. They would have to create courts/jail all sorts of infrustructure etc. All that currently exists for Dupage Co. It would need to be expanded though.

For the suburbs to secede both the seceding suburbs and the original county would have to agree.
