SunCPAC Q&As: April 7, 2011

Q: Will SunCPAC have a booth at the April 16th Charter Club & Interest Group Expo?

Clarification

In the cover story titled Campaign Trail, Open Forum Village Trustee Candidates, Part I of the March 24 edition of the Sun Day, we stated that the remainder of the article would be printed in full in the next edition on April 7, the current edition.

Q: What does a Township Assessor do?

In Memoriam: Fenwick E. Lind
