Please join the Lake County Municipal League for an Elected Officials Training focusing on theft prevention.
The evening will begin with a screening of the film, All the Queen’s Horses. This film focuses on Dixon city comptroller, Rita Crundwell, who stole $53 million of public funds across 20 years––making her the perpetrator of the largest case of municipal fraud in American history. She used the funds to build one of the nation’s leading quarter horse breeding empires, all while forcing staff cuts, police budget slashing, and neglect of public infrastructure. The film investigates her crime, her lavish lifestyle and the small town she left in her wake.
Following the film, audience members will be invited to submit questions to a panel consisting of: Lake Bluff Village President, Kathleen O’Hara, Bannockburn Finance Director, Stephanie Hannon, and Lauterbach & Amen, Partner Auditor, Jamie Wilkey.
The schedule is as follows:
- 6-6:30 pm – Registration

- 8:00-8:45 pm – Panel Q&A Session
- 8:45 pm – Closing
