Timely Topics: Demystifying County Government

Timely Topics:  Demystifying County Government, May 12, 2021, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. Zoom presentation, Registration required.  We know what cities do: public safety - police and fire services, public works, libraries. And we know how cities work: citizens elect a city council and mayor who together run the city. But what does Champaign County government do and how does it work? We elect many county level officials - judges, state’s attorney, circuit clerk, county clerk and more. Do they work together and, if so, how? Where do the funds to run their offices come from? What is the County Executive’s role? This discussion will address  these questions and more. Registration required. Thanks to the LWVCC officiers who volunteered to do this presentation:  Trish Crowley, Deb Busey.
