I have now served as one of the three representatives for Champaign County District 6 for 10 months. This is sufficient time to have voted on items put before the board, learned and still learning about the many functions and committees to which the board takes action and appoints, and presently the board is going through the annual budget review process. Plus the historic and histrionic redistricting of the county mandated to be done after the census.
On 6 November 2011, Sunday, I will be available to meet with, listen to, and discuss with the district 6 constituents. The Town Hall will be held in Room C at the Champaign Public Library from 1-2 P. This is an open forum not only for the constituents of the present district 6, but also the newly drawn district 6, and any other residents of the county.

I look forward to meeting and talking with constituents. For a conversation starter, here are some of the issues before the board: plan for stormwater management on the county campus; a new jail; the county budget; a comprehensive plan for the county campus; explore more ways to save energy in the county-owned buildings; the reduced size of the board and the development of new rules; rural transportation.

Regionalism is something often talked about but usually never implemented. Can Central Illinois leaders put aside their parochial fears and come together to develop strategies that benefit the entire region. This post explores those questions. There are many people eager to come together to do it. When will it happen?
