Comptroller Susana Mendoza Invites Fairgoers to Stop by Her Office’s Tent at the Illinois State Fair

The Illinois Office of Comptroller (IOC) will again host a tent at the Illinois State Fair, offering visitors exciting giveaways, cold water, games, information about the office’s programs and services, and a chance to learn more about what the IOC does as the state’s fiscal watchdog.

“The Illinois State Fair is one of my favorite traditions, and I hope fairgoers will stop by our tent between concerts, corndogs and lemon shake-ups to learn what the Comptroller’s Office does, how we safeguard taxpayer dollars and the important services we provide every day,” said Comptroller Mendoza.

Additionally, the IOC will hold three special events during the fair, including Comptroller Mendoza’s popular dog adoption event, which results in at least one pooch finding a forever home every year.
