Lease Being Finalized For Office Space For New Defendant Advocate

Part of Illinois’ Safety Act is establishing pre-trial services for defendants in each county. In Wabash County, the position is being filled by Day Robinson and she is occupying space in the state’s attorney’s office. Wabash County commissioners are expected to enter into a formal lease agreement with the office of statewide pretrial services for the office space that will pay the county just over $7,000 a year. State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman said she is making minor tweaks to the proposed lease agreement and hopes to have it finalized by the first of March.
