An issue SourceLine follows · dolton residents and property owners
Dolton families pay the bills for a village that is still paying for its past. The record also shows people at work on it. The board has met and voted in public at every meeting with posted minutes this year. The Village says its audits are being prepared and filed again. The Mayor reported in February that the old Melanie Fitness building, which he said cost the Village $400,000 a year, has reopened as Rucker Athletics through a partnership he said now earns money for the community. That is the Mayor's statement, not an audited figure. Residents deserve the full ledger, so here it is, from the Village's own papers.

We will email you when there is news on the topics you pick: a vote, a hearing or a date when residents can speak.
Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.
For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
