Glenwood moves to regulate basic cable rates
Glenwood trustees approved filing with the Federal Communications Commission to seek certification of franchising authority to regulate basic cable service rates. The village would join Lake County Cable Television Consortium for competitive rates and franchise fees and could set installation leasing and equipment selling rates once certified, potentially within 30 days if local regulations conform to FCC rules.

A lesson in responsibility for Richton Park parents
Richton Park officials discussed an ordinance to broaden parental liability for minor children. The change would extend responsibility beyond vandalism and curfew to offenses such as battery, disorderly conduct, fireworks, indecent exposure, intimidation, obscene conduct, trespass, truancy, loitering, and possession of spray paint, markers, alcohol, marijuana, or other substances. Village Manager David Niemeyer said nearby towns have similar rules, but Richton Park’s would be more expansive.
