State of Our Communities

Tip O’Neil famously said, “All politics is local.” The
statement may be truer now than ever, especially with state and federal
politics affecting our communities so dramatically. Yet, local nonpartisan
elections see low voter turnout, and the elected officials of our cities, towns
and villages are often unknown to their citizens.



The League of Women Voters of Wheaton, a nonpartisan
political organization serving Wheaton, Warrenville, Winfield, West Chicago and
Carol Stream will present “The State of Our Communities” on Thursday, January
16, 2014. Mayor David Brummel of Warrenville, Mayor Ruben Pineda of West
Chicago, City Council Member Phil Suess of Wheaton and Village Manager Joseph
Breinig of Carol Stream will be the panelists for this program. They will share
information about their communities and answer questions from the audience.



This program is free and open to the public, and the Wheaton
League welcomes citizens from our surrounding communities to join us for an
interesting and informative evening. The program will be held at the Wheaton
Park District Community Center, 1777 S. Blanchard, Wheaton. There will be a
meet and greet at 7:00 PM and the program will begin at 7:30 PM.
