DuPage County briefs

Sex offender checks

A recent check of DuPage County's convicted sex offenders showed nearly all were in compliance with the state's registration law. A task force of 30 police agencies, led by the sheriff's office, visited 126 of the area's 350 registered sex offenders for the compliance checks. All but one - a 24-year-old Hanover Park man who failed to register his job location - were in compliance, officials said.

Sales tax vote delayed

A vote on the 1 percent increase in the home rule sales tax in Glen Ellyn will come at 8 p.m. March 30. The village board originally was going to vote on the issue next week, but trustees decided to wait a week so all board members can be present. Information on the sales tax can be found at glenellyn.org.

Workers help animals

Employees of the DuPage County circuit clerk's office recently raised more than $1,500 for DuPage County Animal Care and Control shelter animals. More than 100 employees took part in a "penny wars" contest in which departments competed to see who could collect the most donations. Members of the Friends of DCACC board of directors, along with some of their four-legged companions, visited the clerk's office in Wheaton last week to present employees with a plaque.
