County government business is open to the public and the
notion that we somehow conduct our business in a backroom is simply false.
According to the Open Meetings Act, not only must business of the County be
done in the open (accessible to the public), but that business must be
published on an agenda at least 48-hours prior to the meeting, ensuring that
business can’t be slipped in at the last minute. I encourage citizens of
District 15 to attend a meeting or two of the County Board to learn and see firsthand
our system of government; citizens have every right to scrutinize their
government. If you wish to speak at any of the meetings on a topic from the
agenda, please call the County Board office at 309-558-3605, at least 48-hours
before the scheduled meeting.
