During last night’s meeting of the Bourbonnais Village Board, trustees voted to proclaim January “Law Enforcement Appreciation Month” in the Village. Mayor Paul Schore said he felt the proclamation was important in light of the recent shooting of two Bradley Police officers
Schore noted there are several fundraisers going on around the area to support the families of the late Sergeant Marlene Rittmanic and Officer Tyler Bailey who continues to fight for his life in a Chicago hospital. That includes one fundraiser tonight
A pancake breakfast hosted by the local Lions Club over the weekend raised some 18-thousand dollars to support the families of both officers.
