Dear Action Ridgers, those of you who attended our “Policing in Park Ridge” virtual meeting on Thursday learned about the way vaping infractions are handled in D207. Alice Dobrinsky has done a great deal of research on this subject and has asked us to read the following information; and, if you so choose, take action by following the steps below.
If you didn’t attend Thursday’s meeting, reading the explainer in the link below will get you up to speed so you can feel confident about taking action. Nan and Liz
