Dawn Clark Netsch and Julie Hamos will speak on why there should not be a CON-CON. Dawn Clark Netsch will present a historical perspective on the 1970 Constitutional Convention, to which she was a delegate. What was the political climate at that time? Why was there a need to write a new constitution? How does our present situation, some 38 years later, compare? Julie Hamos will discuss the current situation in Springfield. If the source of the dysfunction is not the constitution, then what are the alternatives for building a more responsive, ethical government? Those of you familiar with the work of these outstanding speakers will know that we can expect an informative, interactive evening. There will be ample time reserved for questions. This event is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Wilmette, WNK, Glencoe, Evanston and Glenview.
