Sounds like one of the best places in Illinois to live except for the huge black stain that darkens effingham, my effin ex wife and her cold black still beating heart reside there
one of the groups that sends me notices on FB periodically sends out a map of IL counties that have enacted such resolutions, have proposed them, or have them on the schedule to vote. unsurprisingly, over 1/3 of the state already has and another 1/3 has plans to. The distribution is unsurprising.

sanctuary cities as an excuse to unlawfully ignore important,
democratically-implemented, state laws; and
WHEREAS, These so-called “gun sanctuary counties” arenothing more than scofflaw counties, usurping the judiciary and
role of separation of powers in our government, while openly
encouraging criminal behavior; therefore, be it
