Village of Itasca issued the following announcement on May 2.
As a proud member of the DMMC, Itasca encourages residents to view the new website and its social media opportunities that enable Illinoisans to directly engage their state legislators and Governor.
The website explains why the state should resist attempts to use local tax dollars to fill state budget gaps, which shifts the tax burden on to local communities and taxpayers.
The process is incredibly simple: After logging on to ProtectMyTown.us, it only takes three easy steps to directly contact your legislators and the Governor: 1) Fill out your information; 2) Review your letter; and 3) Hit the Send Letter button to complete the form and send the letter to lawmakers. View the first two videos showcasing local mayors discussing how cutting the Local Government Distributive Fund negatively effects their towns. The second in the series features Itasca Mayor Jeff Pruyn.
