What is the Civic Betterment Committee (CBC) – in less than 100 words?

The CBC is a nonpartisan, all volunteer group helping individuals run for the Village Board and Library Board. Our aim is to prevent big money and parties from influencing local elections by supporting qualified candidates in running low-cost, stress-free campaigns. Candidates apply, are interviewed, and presented at the town hall meeting (last November). The candidates with the highest votes during the town hall meeting become the CBC “slate.” We assist candidates with the paperwork to get on the ballot, and they can use our CBC website to share information about their views with the community.
