Do you know what the County Council does and why you should be informed before you vote? 
Here’s some information for the https://laporteco.in.gov/boards-commissions/county-council/ website!

 DUTIES OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL
The council has the ultimate decision making power regarding fiscal affairs. The council has authority to view or review fiscal matters, determine proper policy, and set priorities for the allocation and expenditure of county funds.

The General Assembly determines the powers of the county council in this area. Typically these powers include:
• Approving and fixing annual operating budgets of all county government offices and agencies
Establishing salaries, wages, per diems, and other compensation for all county officials and employees
• Fixing tax rates and establishing levies on all county property for the purpose of raising funds to meet budget requirements in conducting county business, as well as authorizing the borrowing of money in the form of bonds and notes.
• Appropriating public funds, i.e., authorizing the expenditure of county money by particular officials or departments for specific purposes
• Authorizing certain purchases or sales of county owned land.

You need someone you can trust to be financially wise, so that the people are protected in these circumstances!
