One of the Election Day success stories enjoyed by Americans for Prosperity -Illinois, occurred in nearby Lemont. A wasteful school referendum was defeated in Lemont and AFP was at the forefront of educating voters on the facts as they went to the polls.
Residents of Lemont had become tired of seeing their taxes go up every single year while the District constantly cried poor, so due to requests from residents, AFP began an effort to understand exactly why the budget and the taxes for Lemont's School District 113a have been constantly rising for every one of the last eleven years.
