Conroy to host “Civics 101” discussion

     State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, will host a “Civics 101” community discussion about the legislative process from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19 at the Funky Java located at 30 S. Villa Ave. in Villa Park.

“Now more than ever there is a lot of confusion and misinformation about the work being done by legislators,” said Conroy. “These conversations are meant to educate citizens about the initiatives and issues their elected officials are taking on for our communities.”

“Civics 101” provides an opportunity for more open dialogue between concerned citizens and their local officials. Rep. Conroy believes that residents should be provided ample opportunity to reach out to legislators with their questions and concerns.
