Trustees Brown and Steve announce successful expungement event and upcoming MS walk

During the recent Special Board Meeting held on July 1, 2025, the Village of Dolton addressed several community-focused initiatives that aim to enhance local support and engagement.

One of the key highlights was the successful expungement event held the previous weekend, which saw 25 residents participate and three petitions filed. Trustee Tammy Brown expressed gratitude to the attorneys and volunteers who contributed to the event's success, indicating a strong community effort to assist individuals seeking to clear their records. The board is already planning another expungement event later this year, reflecting a commitment to providing ongoing support for residents in need.

Additionally, Trustee Steve announced an upcoming fundraising walk for multiple sclerosis scheduled for July 12. The event will take place at the Lester Longfield House, starting at 9:30 AM, and aims to raise awareness and funds for the cause. Trustee Steve encouraged all Dolton residents to join in for a day of fellowship and community spirit, emphasizing the importance of collective action in addressing health issues.

The meeting also included discussions about past legal representation for trustees, highlighting a history of concerns regarding the village's legal counsel. This topic underscores ongoing discussions about governance and trust within the village board.

As Dolton continues to foster community engagement through events and initiatives, residents can look forward to more opportunities for involvement and support in the coming months. The board's focus on local issues reflects a dedication to improving the quality of life for all residents.
