The use of our taxes


The Arlington Heights Park District referendum was defeated by hundreds of votes.  The national opposition groups used robocalls to voters, telling them tax hikes instead of the merits of improved facilities.  


We should have better facilities for workout.  At the same time, the property taxes should be as low as possible.


Few people know much about the Arlington Heights Park District referendum at the Wheeling Township Democrats meeting last night.


There are oppositions, I told them.  Here and there, they raise taxes, there is no limit.  Do you regard property taxes being high in Arlington Heights?


Arlington Heights Mayoral Candidate: Mark Hellner

S. told me a story in answering my questions.  "In Wheeling, they voted on new library facilities."  she told me.  "The people voted for it and now we have a good library" she said.  "Come, it raises the value of your property" she said. 

Let us hope through democratic process we reach at some point where we all can be convinced what to do with our tax money.  Let us hope the election process be as fair as possible to those involved.  Let us hope the nasty bullying of the mighty not be the voice of our representatives.
