Welcome to the Cook County Observer

The LWVCC has had an active Observer Corps for years. This blog will be the new home of the Observer Reports, which in the past have been posted on the LWVCC's website.

What is an Observer Corps? League members who have volunteered their time to attend a governmental meeting, or view a governmental meeting online or on television, and report on what happened at the meeting. The purpose of the reports is to allow the community to know:

• what the government is doing
• the issues facing the government
• how issues are being addressed.

We hope to shed a little more sunshine on Cook County government, and some of its committees and related governments.
