The reason publication of legal notices is required in newspapers is YOU, the citizen. In a Democracy, the government is required to inform you of the public business, because you and your neighbors are the basis for government. These notices provide essential information about all local government entities, including schools, cities, villages and counties. A Democracy is a system of checks and balances. Your right to know and be informed is a check on government. Public notices shed light on the actions of all governmental bodies, but it’s up to you, the citizen, to read them and obtain more information if necessary about the actions that impact you.
