Logan County Treasurer Vicki Dugan was among 93 county
treasurers from across the state who attended a meeting March 30 and
31 hosted by Illinois State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka in
Springfield.
"As chief financial officers, we have a responsibility to ensure
that tax dollars are spent wisely," Topinka said. "By attending this
year's training program, Vicki has shown a continued commitment to
better serve the people of Logan County."
The 2011 County Treasurers Training Program is a state-mandated
education workshop hosted every four years by the Illinois Office of
the Comptroller. The meeting was planned in coordination with the
Illinois County Treasurers Association.
