November 8, 2003 - I sent an email to County Board Members Michael McMahon, Tom Bennington, and Kyle Gilgis; and Forest Preserve Commissioner Wally Brown urging them not to move the Sheriff's firing range and auto impound lot to Woodridge.  I have also corresponded with several Woodridge residents pledging my support

to defeat these proposals.

UPDATE:  Click here for responses from my three County Board Members;

Forest Preserve Commissioner Wally Brown called to say he would follow the issue closely.
