Needless to say, Monday’s Meeting Of The Board of Trustees: Committee Of The Whole Meeting was quite the spectacle.  Marred by flagrant insults, disrespect, and an attempt to minimize a potential safety hazard concern regarding a land development project on 142nd & Cottage Grove.

The owners' attempts to make a payment arrangement have fallen on deaf ears, as they say that emails and calls to the Village Clerk's office have been unanswered.

What does the future have in store for Illinois once cash bail is eliminated? The State of New York abolished cash bail for most nonviolent offenses in 2020. Since then, New York City has seen a massive spike in crime, while 20.1% of “felony arraignments” are rearrested, with 16.1% failing to appear at arraignment. This doesn’t bode well for Chicago which has already seen a 38% spike in crime since this time last year. #DonTracy
