GENERAL, Suburban Life, hoops & Walmart
To pinch pennies Broadview trustees voted to nix health insurance for the trustees elected after the next election. See Suburban Life (Debrah Bonn). Trimming a little here, a little there isn't gonna paper over serious mismanagement. And losing the budget is serious mismanagement.
Suburban Life (Megan Brody) tells of Brookfield failing to collect money from businesses to pay for the cost of health inspections. What caught my eye was the line:
I'm going to engage in psychic journalism a report that it costs more to have Cook County do the health inspections than having the independent health inspector.
Hillside will raise taxes to pay more into the fire and police pension funds. See Suburban Life (Debrah Bonn).
Remember this when politicians talk-up home rule.
State Senator Christine Radogno (Republican) is running for treasurer. See Suburban Life (Sara Luneburg). Got opinions or info about Radogno?
La Grange Park is going to pay more for a water infrastructure project for having delayed it. See Suburban Life (Tara Alexander). I skimmed the article twice and I didn't get why it's gonna cost more money. Can someone explain it?
Sun-Times (Steve Tucker) has a nice profile of Hillside native and Proviso West alum Khara Smith, DePaul hoops player who may play in the WNBA.
East beat West 66-54. See Sun-Times (Carter Crane).

Brookfield employed an independent health inspector for $900 a month until Cook County took over inspections in December.

Because Hillside is a home rule community, no referendum is required to raise the tax levy beyond the 5 percent or the rate of inflation cap for non-home rule municipalities.
