Waste Management Presents Check to Will County

More than half a million after collaboration

​JOLIET, IL – At this month's Will County Board meeting, a representative from Waste Management presented Will County Board leadership with a $650,000 host community benefit check for the Laraway Recycling and Disposal Facility Expansion. 
 
"We've been working with Waste Management to find the best solution for the Laraway landfill for a while," said Democratic minority leader Herb Brooks (D-Joliet). "It's nice to have the expansion officially approved, and to receive this generous check. I want to give a big thanks to Waste Management for their continued support to District 8."
 
Waste Management began working with Will County in 2007 on a host agreement to take over the environmental remediation of the phosphogypsum stack at the site of the defunct Olin Chemical plant, in exchange for an expansion of the Laraway landfill.

Board reorganizes, elects Moustis as speaker

Maher elected Republican chair, Brooks elected Democratic chair

JOLIET, IL –  The Will County Board today unanimously elected Jim Moustis (R-Frankfort) as its speaker.  Republican members then elected Chuck Maher (R-Naperville) as their party chair; and Democrats elected Herbert Brooks, Jr. (D-Joliet) as their party chair. The Board reorganized after newly elected board members were given the oath of office and officially seated.

"It's very humbling that your board has enough confidence in you to lead them, and I am very appreciative of being elected speaker," said Speaker Moustis.  "I look forward to working with everyone, and I feel very positive that we will get a lot accomplished.  We will continue to make sure the county is appropriately funded so we can deliver services, while being fiscally conservative and staying within our means."
