The Mayor and Village Trustees monitor legislation at the local, state and federal levels to stay abreast of issues that may affect the community.  Regular legislative advocacy activities include providing information and educating legislators on the impact of legislation on the Village’s government operations and its taxpayers.  The Mayor is the official spokesman for the village government in all political and legislative affairs and when dealing with other elected officials.

State Issues

The Mayor regularly writes letters to legislators informing them of the Village’s position on certain issues and specific legislation.  Below are copies of letters than were submitted to various State legislators in 2010.

The Village of Roselle is a dues-paying member of two associations that may conduct legislative advocacy initiatives at the county, state and/or federal levels. These associations include the DuPage Mayors and Managers Association and Illinois Municipal League.  The Village is also a dues-paying member in the Pension Fairness for Illinois Communities, a coalition of business and government leaders committed to protecting local taxpayers.

Government is most effective when residents are engaged.  The Village of Roselle encourages the public to contact both State and Federal Legislators regarding any or all of these issues. Below are links with information on how to contact the legislators representing Roselle.  In addition, please visit www.ilga.gov for additional information on State Legislators.  For additional information on legislative advocacy please contact the Mayor’s Office at 630-671-2804.  Please remember, your opinion does make a difference!
