About this Article

Lake County Commissioner Aaron Lawlor was elected the new county board chairman this morning following a vote by its members. He replaces Commissioner David Stolman of Buffalo Grove, who opted not to seek another term. "I am so grateful to lead this body," Lawlor said. "There's a lot of change on this board today, but our priorities remain the same."
