DuPage County received a AAA bond rating from Fitch Ratings in July 2024, making it one of fewer than 2% of counties in the United States to receive this rating from all three major rating agencies. AAA bond ratings are the highest possible rating and indicate the lowest risk of default. They are only given to entities with a very strong ability to pay their financial obligations.
7th Annual VetBros Charity Dog Show
Greg had the honor of being a guest judge at the 7th annual VetBros charity dog show on August 4th in Carol Stream. He judged the "best puppy" category. Definitely not an easy task as they were all so adorable! All proceeds from this event go to help pet owners in the community who may be experiencing financial hardships, obtain veterinary care and pet supplies.
