We invite residents to join us on June 5.”

The RensCo on the Road resource fair initiative was promised by McLaughlin last year when he was seeking the office of County Executive. Other RensCo on the Road events will be scheduled later in 2018. Along with RensCo on the Road, McLaughlin has new social media sites to keep the public informed.
