Boone County Taxpayers Association Addressees Unemployment in our Community


The Boone County Taxpayers Association (BCTA) is hosting an informational meeting for all of the unemployed and dislocated workers in Boone County. There is no cost for this program, and everyone is welcome to attend.
The BCTA meeting will be held on July 30, 2009 at Belvidere Township Hall, Fairgrounds Road, at 7 PM. The doors will open at 6:30 PM. Our speakers for the evening will be Sue Carmichael and members of her staff from the Rock Valley College Dislocated workers program. They will provide us with information on all of the existing workers assistance program that are available to our community and advise us on how to take advantage of them. We will also discuss stimulus programs and how they may help us. Local officials and other authorities regarding this subject are also invited to attend this meeting in order to generate ideas and positive discussion to give our unemployed the help they need. Please invite your friends and neighbors who may currently be unemployed and in need of this type of information.
We hope to see numerous members of the public join us on July 30, 2009, to learn about and to take advantage of these unemployed worker programs.

Boone County Taxpayers Association: Meeting Change

Thursday, April 23, 2009

BCTA Meeting - Thursday, May 14, 2009

Due to a scheduling conflict at the library we must cancel our April meeting. Our next monthly meeting will be Thursday, May 14, 2009 at Belvidere Township Hall,8200 Fairgrounds Road, Belvidere, Il. Doors open at 6:30, meeting 7:00PM. 

Our invited guest is Boone County Chairman, Robert Walberg, and County Administrator, Ken Terrinoni. Discussion will center on county finances, current year budget adjustments and projections for 2010 fiscal year. The current economy has caused many shortfalls in sales tax and state revenues; what can the county do to adjust to these numbers. How will it affect our services? Will our real estate taxes be increased? Come with your questions.


As BCTA members and active members of our community, please join us for an informative evening, frank discussion, sincere give and take, and a sharing of problem solving ideas.

Hope to see you May 14.


Sincerely,

Diann Helnore,
Director, Boone County Taxpayer Association
