Illinois townships: keep, consolidate, or eliminate?
Have you ever wondered why we have a township system? Why does Naperville have six different townships? How does your township work for you?
From 7-9PM On Wednesday, September 21, the Naperville League of Women Voters invites the community to a non-partisan informational public event to discuss Illinois townships.
A discussion about townships with Councilman Judy Brodhead from the City of Naperville; O. Chris Heidorn, Milton Township Supervisor; and Warren Dixon III, Naperville Township Assessor, will be followed by audience Q&A.
The forum will be held at the Naperville Municipal Center, 400 S. Eagle Street.
