The newly-formed Will County Republican Women's Club is hosting a fundraiser Aug. 14 in Bolingbrook.
Having participated in local Republican organizations over the years, including at the township level, New Lenox resident Patty Deiters came to the conclusion that a separate organization for women and in support of female candidates would be an asset. In April, she began researching organizations and their bylaws and discovered that the Will County Republican Women's Club would be effective particularly if it aligned itself as a chapter of the Illinois Federation of Republican Women . Consequently, she said, the Will County group is also affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women. The women-specific group has the opportunity to focus on women in government. However, that doesn't mean that men in the party are not welcome …

By issuing a few ground rules off the bat, the high court has resolved a few of the immediate issues pitting transparency against the rights of individuals. After an interview with Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride, Illinois Statehouse News notes: Illinois had been only one of 14 states that did not allow cameras to record criminal trials.
