In this compelling episode of the Lake Forest Podcast, hosts Pete Jansons and Joe Weiss tackle the pressing issue of voter apathy and the future of the Lake Forest Caucus. As participation dwindles, with only 257 community members turning out for a pivotal vote, questions arise about the continued relevance of the caucus system in modern governance. 🗳️🌳

Today, we delve into several critical areas:

The alarming lack of voter turnout and what it suggests about the community's interest in local governance.
The role of Lake Forest For Transparency, which has been controversially buying political ads, possibly funded by "Dark Money." Are these efforts influencing the community improperly?
Historical challenges and failures within the caucus, particularly concerning the missing bylaws that were never amended by past presidents like Sheila Henretta, who had the power to make necessary changes but did not.
The potential consequences of leadership changes, inspired by similar shifts in neighboring Highland Park, which have led to an environment perceived as anti-business and anti-police.
A debate on whether it’s time to hold a referendum to decide if the caucus should still exist, given the current sentiments and changing dynamics within Lake Forest.
Pete and Joe also reflect on their personal experiences and frustrations with the caucus system, discussing past leadership failures that have led to today's grievances and the significant influence of local politics on community wellbeing and administrative effectiveness.

Join the discussion: What are your thoughts on the Lake Forest Caucus? Should we move towards reforming or abolishing this traditional system to better suit our city's needs today?
