I had a great time at the ribbon cutting on the 18th. Now Kane County residents can go to our location in Elgin as well as Geneva and Aurora for copies of birth, death, and marriage certificates and apply for passports.
I’ve worked hard for the past 5 years as a County Board Member and Forest Preserve President to get bison back on to Kane County. Success at last!
The Forest preserve published this announcement on their Facebook:
“With a few steps off a trailer and onto Burlington Prairie Forest Preserve in Sycamore, American bison, also known as buffalo, have made a triumphant return to Kane County prairie, for the first time in more than 200 years.
“The move follows a three-way partnership between the Forest Preserve District of Kane County as land owner, the American Indian Center of Chicago (AIC) as owner of the animals, and Ruhter Bison as the herd manager. It was an agreement the Forest Preserve District had worked to bring to completion for years, and something promised to residents as part of the 2024 Land Acquisition & Preserve Improvement Referendum.”

Representatives of the Kane County Board will host a public meeting to present educational information regarding the proposed Special County Retailer’s Occupation Tax Referendum.
The Kane County Board has approved placing a measure on the April 1, 2025, election ballot asking voters whether or not to establish a 0.75% sales tax dedicated exclusively for funding essential public safety services.
