Students get their turn to run Buffalo Grove

Buffalo Grove trustees this week took some time off and let their future successors take over.

The occasion was the annual Civics Forum, during which the village board invites students from Buffalo Grove and Stevenson high schools to experience municipal government firsthand.

Students taking part in the forum, which began 17 years ago, attend a portion of a village board meeting then split into teams to tackle a pressing issue.

This year's session discussed the issue of electronic cigarettes and how, or whether, they should be regulated by local government.

The burning discussion should soon be available for viewing in its entirety on the village's website, vbg.org.
