Lansing is on the right track. “The problem with government spending is sooner or later, you run out of other people’s money. As Mayor, I’ve never lost sight of the fact that it’s your hard-earned tax dollars we’re spending. Lansing is on the right track - every year a balanced budget, no deficit spending, a village government that is open, transparent and accountable to every resident. I want to keep it that way but I need your help. On April 7th, vote for three Trustee candidates who are as deeply, passionately committed as I am, to a village government that is fiscally accountable, open and transparent.” — MAYOR NORM ABBOTT

Annual Law Day The South Suburban College Legal Studies Department will host their second annual Law Day on Friday, May 1, 2015. This year’s event will feature a special live court case. Oral arguments for a real criminal First District Appellate Court case will be heard in the Performing Arts Center. This is a rare opportunity for the community to observe the First District at work at an off-site location. The general public– especially educators and students–is encouraged to attend this unique opportunity to witness some of the area’s most talented, professional litigators in action. Opening remarks will begin at 10:00 a.m. Following the arguments, the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of the Appellate Prosecutor and Appellate Defender. The justices will return to the PAC for another question and answer session at approximately 11:30 a.m. Attendees are welcome to stay for a Mock Crime Scene Demonstration from 12 noon–2:00 p.m. in the Atrium of the Main Campus, as well as a Court Reporting Demonstration from 12 noon–2:00 p.m., in the Heritage Room. This event also provides guests with an opportunity to find out more about educational and career opportunities in the judicial field, and to learn about SSC’s Paralegal, Court Reporting and Criminal Justice programs.
