Observer Corps

League members volunteer to attend and report on the various bodies of county government. At present we are observing the Cook County Board of Commissioners, including their meetings about the Cook County Forest Preserve and the Cook County Board of Corrections. We also hope to observe as many of the commissioners' committee meetings as possible.

Observer reports will be posted regularly.
