Juracek understands what's at stake in referendum

Posted March 01, 2018 4:00 am

We were excited to read that Mount Prospect Mayor Arlene Juracek took a public position in support of the Mount Prospect District 57 preservation referendum.

Mayor Juracek is a fiscal conservative. But she understands the catastrophic impact the referendum's failure would have on Mount Prospect's property values. She knows there is only one reasonable choice, and that's to vote "yes" in the March 20 preservation referendum.

Every voter in Mount Prospect, especially seniors such as us, need to follow their mayor's lead and vote "yes" to protect Mount Prospect property values.

We hope other politicians also step up to the plate and publicly back the referendum. That's the type of leadership we need from our elected officials.
