I don’t write often about Normal because it seems the citizens really don’t care about taxes and fiscal responsibility.    The list below I found while looking for something else.  If anybody in Normal does care, send the Town a FOIA request for more information.  http://il-normal.civicplus.com/formcenter/clerk-2/foia-request-nonpolice-33  They will answer your questions.

Plenty of other “goodies” are shown in other departments, these are only from Administration.
