Information about the local Champaign-Urbana government and how to learn more about the City Councils, Township Boards and other local government offices such as:
- Their membership information and contact information
- Policy issues
- Information for candidates and about candidates
- Election information and upcoming races
- More up to date meeting information
- Primers on major local issues
- Issue positions and candidate statements
In time, with some hard work, this will hopefully be an easy and quick
guide on what's going on with local government, how to effect
change in it, and how it works for everyday voters. Someday I hope it
can be useful enough for the political wonks, help folks become more
political wonky and maybe even run for and become part of their local
government.
