Kane County Tax Referendum Town Hall
2025-02-24 17:00 - 18:00 | Gail Borden Public Library Main Branch, 270 N. Grove Ave., Elgin, 60120, United States
Representatives of the Kane County Board will host several public meetings to present educational information regarding the proposed Special County Retailer’s Occupation Tax Referendum. In September 2024, the Kane County Board approved placing this measure on the April 1, 2025, election ballot to ask voters whether or not to establish a 0.75% sales tax dedicated exclusively to funding essential public safety services. Those services include the Sheriff’s Office, State’s Attorney, Public Defender, Coroner, Circuit Clerk, KaneComm 911, Public Health, and the Office of Emergency Management.
The proposed sales tax would add 75 cents per $100 spent on applicable retail purchases in Kane County, with exemptions for essential items such as groceries and prescription medications.
The revenue generated from this tax would be allocated to public safety initiatives, such as:

Supporting law enforcement and emergency response services.
Upgrading public safety technology and infrastructure.
Enhancing emergency preparedness and response capabilities.
Expanding programs to address drug overdoses, neglect, and abuse.

Each meeting will follow a town hall format, allowing attendees to ask questions and provide feedback.

Burlington: Feb. 4, Mott’s Lounge, 5:30–6:30 p.m.

Virtual Town Hall on President Trump's Executive Orders | Raja Krishnamoorthi
2025-02-24 12:15 - 13:30
Raja Krishnamoorthi’s Feb. 24 Virtual Town Hall on President Trump’s Executive Orders
Over the course of these first few weeks of his administration, President Trump has already issued dozens of executive orders. To explain and answer questions on the breadth and depth of their effects, I will be hosting a virtual town hall on these policies and how they affect our local communities on Monday, February 24, at 12:15pm CT.
You can sign up here, and I hope to see you there.

Lauren Underwood Virtual Town Hall
2025-02-22 11:30 - 12:30
This Saturday 2/22/2025 at 11:30 AM CST, I’m hosting a special Virtual Town Hall for constituents. Click here to sign up to join us.
Hi Neighbor,
The Trump Administration’s flurry of executive orders and policy actions are harming our community, and they are an attack on the values that make the 14th District so strong. The President’s actions have done nothing to lower costs for working families and his policy priorities are vastly out of step with northern Illinoisans.
As your representative in Congress, I want you to know that I am fully committed and focused on protecting our values and our fundamental rights in this moment.
There are more than 70 pending lawsuits against the Trump Administration’s executive orders and administrative actions, and House Democrats are using every tool in our toolbox to keep our communities safe.
Keeping you informed is part of that commitment and a top priority of mine. I wanted to make sure you received an invitation to a special event I am hosting this Saturday, February 22 at 11:30 AM CST:
Join me for a special Virtual Town Hall meeting. I’ll provide an overview of everything House Democrats are doing to protect our community from these harmful executive orders, take your questions, and together we’ll have a conversation about the path forward.
I hope to have your voice at the table!
Please click here to sign up to receive a phone call once the event begins.
