BATAVIA – State Rep. Karina Villa, D-West Chicago, is hosting a number of citizen advisory committee meetings this spring in the TriCities area.

“As state representative, it is vital that I understand the opinions and viewpoints of my neighbors, and talk through upcoming legislative proposals with a learned group of citizens that hold many differing perspectives,” said Villa in a news release. “These advisory committees will allow me to learn from my neighbors, who represent decades of different careers and experiences, and open a civil discourse on the direction they would like to see for Illinois.”

According to the release, Villa will regularly host citizen advisory committee meetings to help her better represent the differing views of area residents and update taxpayers on current legislation pending before the General Assembly.
