On today’s show I’ll give my perspective on last weeks Illinois Elevator Safety Board meeting and what I learned. It being the first one I attended I learned a lot.  Next week is our $100 giveaway so make sure you sign up for our e-newsletter to qualify to win. Hard to believe that June is fast approaching us.
