Alliance Defense Fund, “a legal alliance defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation”, has issued an “Alliance Alert” regarding the “invocations” approved for the Village Board meetings …
The ADF Alliance Alert reports results from ongoing efforts of ADF’s rapidly expanding legal alliance, while also guiding readers to the frontlines of the “culture war” on a daily basis. National leaders in law, policy, and culture rely on the Alert’s comprehensive coverage of issues important to social conservatives, including religious freedom, sanctity of life, marriage, family, and the judiciary.
It does not appear that any action is being considered or recommended against the Village for any abridgement of “religious freedoms” at this time.
The Board recently approved adding an invocation to the beginning of meetings in an attempt to bring some peace to the oft-contentious meetings by invoking the “higher power”.
The Daily Herald is reporting that Kane County Forest Preserve District purchased the 745-acre Brunner property, which was a major piece in the Village’s vision and comprehensive plan.
The buy has been a long-term goal for the forest preserve district, to both keep as open space and use for the Longmeadow Parkway bridge crossing over the Fox River.
Quite a steal at $40 million (or slightly less than $54,000 per acre)…
Carpentersville officials had been interested in annexing the property and encouraging development at the site, citing economic benefits.
A fundraiser will be held Saturday for Richard “Mac” McMillan, a 19-year veteran of the Carpentersville Fire Department, who is battling a rare form of leukemia.
