McLean County Republicans are planning a party at the Normal CornBelters’ baseball game later this month and are welcoming the entire community, but not everyone was excited.
McLean County Democrats called out a big-ticket raffle item they felt was out of touch with recent events.
The GOP is raffling off a Rock Island 12-gauge shotgun in what the party calls a “Second Amendment Raffle.” Tickets are selling for $20 each. Democrats called this insensitive in the wake of the Highland Park massacre that killed seven people and wounded two dozen others at a Fourth of July parade. |
