Box 8061, Gurnee, IL 60031 The NewsSun  •  4/27/2012 7:46:00 PM Tough decisions Lake County’s population is over 700,000 and our recorder, Mary Ellen Vanderventer, has done an amazing job managing the day-to-day operations of a very busy office. She has initiated several budget cuts over the years, but the fact remains that the Recorder’s office brings in six times the revenue of the County Clerk’s Office. Has the News-Sun done the appropriate cost study to justify such a change? We are the third-largest county in the state. We need to keep the Recorder’s Office as it stands now — transparent, accessible and serving the public on a whole host of levels.
