Arlington Hts. board should take a stand

Posted May 15, 2011 12:00 am

The election is past and you ran to support the citizens of Arlington Heights and the town where we all live. Even the legislators, who also support all of the citizens of Arlington Heights, are asking the Village of Arlington Heights to step up and make a decision. Decide to support the people rather than an artificial image. Tell the state of Illinois we support jobs, the downtown business area, the scuttled hotel, lower taxes, the Mane Event, the Fourth of July, tourism, businesses, schools, property tax control and the general economic health of Arlington Heights.

Tell the state Arlington Heights supports job growth and economic development in the town you were elected to support. Put any personal issues aside and vote for the people that elected you. Time to step up and tell the state of Illinois that Arlington Heights does support the addition of slots at the Arlington racecourse!
