Lake County Government News

Final ARPA community night, Property assessments, County fair, and More

Dear Neighbor,

I hope this email finds you well. Personally I am still reeling from the horrific mass murder in Highland Park. Many of us have friends and family who attended the Highland Park parade and are continuing to struggle with their experience and the aftermath. There are resources available for those who are traumatized; if you or someone you know needs support, please read below or call 211 to get help. I am grateful for the expressions of sympathy and support from the many non-profits and businesses that reached out and am proud of the actions of the first responders and medical professionals who acted quickly to save lives.

On a much lighter front, the new Ride Lake County service for seniors and people with disabilities continues to grow, increasing ridership for people to get to work, medical appointments, and shopping. We know that transportation is an issue for people in Lake County, and this new service has provided an important resource for employment and health care. I want to thank PACE and our Lake County Division of Transportation staff for their hard work in creating this important service. 

As always, it is an honor to serve as your representative on the Lake County Board and the Forest Preserve Board. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you,

Sandy
