Yingling Hears Constituent Concerns over Coffee

ROUND LAKE BEACH, Ill. – State Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, hosted a community event on Saturday at Something’s Brewing in Grayslake. Constituents had the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions with Yingling while enjoying a cup of coffee.

“I am always happy to talk to my constituents about what issues are most important to them, and how I can do my part to help,” said Yingling. “One of my main priorities is hearing what people in my district have to say, and these events are a great opportunity for me to do just that.”

Yingling discussed multiple topics, including ethylene oxide, a toxic chemical that was used at the Sterigenics facility in Willowbrook and Lake County. Yingling also discussed property taxes, as he has committed lots of time recently to his work on the property tax relief commission.

Yingling regularly hosts events that give community members an opportunity to share their thoughts with him. Similar events will be hosted throughout the upcoming months, giving residents many opportunities to share their thoughts with Yingling.

“It is so important to hear what the people I represent have to say,” said Yingling. “My work in Springfield is based on what I hear from these constituents back home, and I am very thankful for everyone who took the time out of their day to talk with me and share their thoughts on the issues facing our community.”
