For those who did not hear, your Public Defender Executive Board issued a press release on January 17, and conducted a press conference in the lobby of the Main Criminal Courthouse. This was part of our plan to get the message out about the great work we do, and the threadbare budget for our office which should not be cut any further. Our message was carried by the following news outlets: Channel 2 News, Channel 7 News, WBEZ 91.5 radio, WBBM 780 radio, The Chicago Tribune Online, The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, and the Northwest Indiana Times.
If you haven’t read our press release, you can download it from the current President’s Message. We should all use this release to get our message out to as many areas of the County as possible.
