Why the Glenview roundabouts plan proves the need for more transparency
Jan 27, 2022 9:00 AM - Glenview attorney Bill Seitz writes: "For there to be an effective check and balance on the authority of the Village President, Glenview's council-manager form of government requires an active board of trustees.

As residents in communities near these developments, you should be paying attention and speaking out about you how you feel based on facts and information which will unfold in the months ahead. You ought to participate, since the decisions will affect you and your neighbors for years to come. -
