Lansing recently completed the Festival of Flowers Project!
This project is taking steps toward the beautification of the Torrence Avenue Corridor. Mr. Steve Kasper and I developed and implemented it with support from the Mayor.
Steve and I worked closely with Tim Watkins, Superintendent of Public Works and Dwayne from Dutch Gardens, offering Torrence Avenue and Ridge Road Businesses the opportunity to purchase one of 15 flower pots to decorate their business. Next year, these businesses will have the opportunity to contract with Dutch Gardens services or plant their own flowers as, the pot is theirs to keep!
Steve and I wish to thank Mayor Podgorski for helping us get this program blooming!

Rx DISCOUNT CARD
Cook County Commissioner Joan Patricia Murphy announced that Cook County is Partnering with the National Association of Counties to provide residents with discounts on prescription drugs not covered by insurance.
Any county resident without prescription coverage can use this program. Even if you have insurance for prescription drugs, you may still benefit from the discount card, since it may save you money on prescription drugs your existing plan does not cover.
Everyone is eligible, there are no income and age requirements and it can be used for the entire family.
The Cook County Prescription Discount Card is
- Valuable. Save an average of 20% off the pharmacy’s regular price on all commonly prescribed prescriptions and an average savings of 50% on 3-month supplies of select generics through mail service.
- Convenient. Over 57,000 participating retail pharmacies nationwide.
Pick up your card at the Lansing Village Clerk’s Office and start saving today!
For more information contact Cook County Commissioner Joan Patricia Murphy’s Office at 708-389-2125

Illinois Municipal League’s Legislative Lobby Day
On April 9, 2008 I attended the Illinois Municipal League’s Legislative Lobby Day. Local Officials from all over Illinois converged in Springfield with the intention of reaching out to our legislators concerning critical issues facing municipalities.
I joined Mayor Podgorski along with numerous members and associates of the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association in an effort to speak with our State Representatives about issues concerning the growing Safety Pension Debt and Pension Reform, a Capital Infrastructure Improvement Program, and issues near to our heart, such as funding for some of our village projects.
I was very excited to visit the Capital. Mayor Podgorski and Ed Paesel, Director of the SSMMA were very helpful in familiarizing me with the meetings and discussions that would take place during the day.
While at the Capital meetings, members and associates of SSMMA met with Susan Shea, IDOT Director of Aeronautics. This proved to be a great opportunity for our Mayor to remind her of our Grant needs and the matching funds available toward future improvements at Lansing’s Municipal Airport.
We also met with Linda Wheeler from the Transportation For Illinois Coalition and Mr. Andre Ashmore, the Managing Director of Local Government Initiatives from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Mr. Ashmore discussed several grant opportunities available to municipalities, one of which involved new computers purchased for public use. I discussed these available funds with Mr. Ashmore after the meeting and he encouraged me to apply for them.
The Local Assistance Grant Application gave our Village the opportunity to seek matching funds for the purchase of computers and kiosks to be located for public use in our new village hall. Village Clerk, Jean Eisha and I worked on this application together and feel confident we qualify for these matching funds. We hope to bring good news in the near future!
I found the trip very informative, and a very important avenue for leaders of municipalities to be seen and heard on a one-on-one basis with key people in Springfield. Other highlights of the trip included meeting with Representative David Miller, Senator Debbie Halverson, Representative George Scully and Lt. Governor Pat Quinn. I’m so happy I’m a trustee. I love working for my village!
