Craig Taylor, Representative District 19 | |
 I've included a couple of job related articles in this issue. There are opportunities out there and I will continue to place high priority on including any job information I receive in my newsletters.
Once again I've included information concerning the upcoming March 20th Primary Election. County Clerk Willard Helander and her staff have gone to great lengths to make your voting experience a good one. Please follow the links to her website for more details.
We still need input on our transportation survey. Many of you took the time to fill it out and we appreciate you letting us hear from you. We do listen and take your comments, suggestions and input seriously! Thank you!
Also, the first of three open houses will take place this Saturday (details below) concerning a proposed development project in our area. I plan to attend all three so I can learn as much as possible about what is being proposed. I hope you'll take some time to stop by to see and hear what it's all about and provide your thoughts.
Please forward this e-newsletter to anyone you feel may benefit from its content. By helping me get the word out in this manner you're also helping me GO GREEN! Thank you!
If you've gotten this letter from a friend, please join my email list at the bottom of this page to receive future issues.
Should you need to contact me, my contact information follows:
Home phone: 847-438-2961

| TRANSPORTATION SURVEY | |
LAKE COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION MARKET ANALYSIS
FEBRUARY 21 - MARCH 16
 Lake County is conducting a comprehensive study to better understand the daily travel of people in the county so we can consider enhancements to our public transportation system. Specifically, we want to know where Lake County residents are going and when they are traveling. We also want to know how often Lake County residents use public transportation and whether or not public transportation options are available. This survey will give us data to evaluate public transportation options and consider re-configuring the existing Pace Suburban Bus routes, creating new routes, or adding new public transportation services.
Please take a few minutes to answer some questions about your typical daily travel: SURVEY
