About this listen

Township government has been in the news, but what is a township, and what does it actually do? In this episode, we break it all down with Stacy Slater and Larry Pitts from Milton Township in DuPage County. We explore the history, responsibilities, and structure of township government, from property assessments to road maintenance and community services. Plus, we answer a listener question: Are townships still necessary in the suburbs? Tune in to learn how this often-overlooked level of government impacts your daily life!
