Happy Veterans Day

The DuPage Veterans Day Ceremony, it was such a moving experience.   All branches of the armed forces were represented,  many frail but not without passion.   The DuPage Veterans Memorial, a beautiful and well deserved tribute to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.



For those who served, thank you.  For those who lost their lives, no words to express the gratitude.  For those still serving, be safe and thank you.

If you are a veteran, or know of a veteran that needs assistance please direct them to DuPage County Veterans Memorial.  Please use provided link:

Election Commission News



The Daily Herald reports Judge strikes down state law on Lake Co. elections

Lake County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor sued the Illinois state elections board and Foreman to keep Foreman from appointing people to the panel as prescribed by the law. The ruling also permanently enjoins Forman from appointing an elections commission.
“This decision is a big win for Lake County voters and taxpayers. The bottom line is what Springfield did was unconstitutional and demonstrates government at its worst,” Lawlor said in a statement.
“This ruling protects voters’ right to decide who administers elections like every other county in the state and avoid the creation of a new expensive government bureaucracy.”

Number of  DuPage polling places reduced
As part of an ongoing effort to cut costs, the DuPage Election Commission has approved a plan to eliminate 71 polling places countywide. You can read more here.
The Daily Herald Editorial Board writes Reconsider separate election boards 
The cost of a separate county election commission is reason to oppose establishing one in Lake County, a Daily Herald editorial says. In fact, we're also wondering why DuPage County, Aurora and Chicago have separate election commissions. You can read the full Editorial here.
