EMERGENCY ACTION: Stop HB 1397 - Protect Homer Glen from Government Land Grabs!

What's Really Going On:

HB 1397 isn't just another bill -- it's a direct attack on the people of Homer Glen and an abuse of power. After Homer Glen residents successfully stopped Will County's attempt to take private land for selfish, non-public purposes, those same interests are now trying to rewrite the rules in Springfield.

They couldn't take the land through Will County, so now they're trying to use the Illinois General Assembly to do their dirty work.
This is nothing more than an attempt to legalize illegal land acquisition through state-level quick-take powers.

Why We Must Fight HB 1397:

• It's retaliation: This bill is being pushed because the people of Homer Glen stood up and won.
• It's unjust: HB 1397 is designed to take away local residents' rights to protect their land.
• It sets a dangerous precedent: If they can do this to Homer Glen, they can do it to any community in Illinois.
• It's anti-democratic: Lawmakers should not be in the business of helping governments seize land when the courts have already said NO.
