LWVCC Urges Cook County Board to Monitor
Merger of Office of Cook County Recorder of Deeds
into the Office of the Cook County Clerk 

The merger of the offices of Cook County Recorder of Deeds and County Clerk was approved by the voters of Cook County in a referendum in November of 2016. As the merger is to be completed by December 2020, the Cook County Board approved an ordinance requesting quarterly reports to monitor the progress of the merger. The second quarterly report has been submitted and after reviewing the report, the League of Women Voters of Cook County (LWVCC) presented testimony at the September 4th meeting of the Legislation and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee of the Cook County Board, outlining  several questions that need to be addressed to ensure the merger is completed on time. READ THE TESTIMONY HERE.
