NOTE: we will NOT be recapping tonight's City Council meeting—at least not anytime soon!–but you can watch the meeting live on Zoom, and on-demand on YouTube.
Here are the details, via the city website: https://westchicago.org/news/august-4-city-council-meeting-to-be-livestreamed/
Newly elected Winfield Township Trustee Rebecca Holmes joins to discuss what townships are, what they do, and why she ran for the office. She describes some of the services provided by a township, included cash assistance for basic needs (like emergency aid for rent)—and a medical closet for borrowing equipment like wheelchairs. The township also offers voter registration and notary services at its office on Arbor Ave.
We talk about how townships avoid duplication of services, what Rebecca learned during her trustee training, and the change that can be affected by running for local office.
