Sounds like another state money grab
Adding a $35 annual increase to the real estate tax bill doesn't sound like a lot of money. But, what is it for?
Listen to this. The state of Illinois legislature has advised Elk Grove Village that it needs the money to cover the village's employee pension costs that will increase.
Why the increase? The state is basing this on actuarial tables that project life expectancy to 120 years. Who do you know that is 120 years old?
Sounds like an excuse for budget bailout money.
Listen up, Springfield. Enough is enough. Get with reality. Agree upon a workable balanced budget or get out.
Hey citizens, when do we vote again?
