Wow! The response to the new Kane County Connects newsletter, which we launched Monday, has been amazing and heartening. I’m so grateful for your kind comments and feedback, and I can’t wait to make the next improvements and continue our efforts to make Kane County the most transparent, engaging and communicative unit of government in Illinois.

You folks are awesome.

I received the first issue of CONNECTS and wanted you and any staff who made any contribution to know the that the graphics and content are outstanding.
Everything about it says …..service and information.
 
Well done.

I do like the idea of a Newsletter to keep up with meetings and what is happening in the county.  I think it is very helpful!

Very well done.  Major points of interest to the public. ie Road resurfacing projects.  This information would save the public monies due to the normal traffic delays which waste gas.

Nice newsletter.   I appreciate the new format.  Your link to One-Stop Shop services is incorrect.  Could you send me the link?Thank you.

Other folks have emailed to say that we missed a link or have asked for certain coverage or had followup questions, which I’ve tried to direct to the proper Kane County departments and personnel.
Two readers so far have said that they might prefer a weekly newsletter rather than a daily report. I’m going to look into that as an option so that we can tailor the frequency to your needs and expectations.
That kind of quality feedback is essential to our efforts, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your emails.
I have to admit, it’s a little mind-boggling that the overwhelming majority of comments have been so kind. After working more than 30 years in west-suburban print and digital media, I can tell you, that sort of positive reinforcement is rare and valued. One sad truth of human nature is that we’re more likely to take action when we have a complaint than when we have a compliment to share.
But it’s also human nature to want to see someone succeed and to show appreciation and gratitude. That’s the best of who we are, and I hope those examples are found in the pages of newsletters to come.
