@publicpolicyman They should not spend a minute on this BS until they get rid of the vagrants and panhandling from downtown Wilmette. Focus on things that matter to residents.
@publicpolicyman Agreed that a study was unnecessary and this could have been an email rather than 25 minutes of PowerPoint. But I love not hearing the leaf blowers between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It’s the noise not the emissions
@publicpolicyman No way. I’d like to see the indoor pool and aquatic center get built - so would many other families that live in Wilmette and prospective buyers. If you don’t want amenities, vote with your feet. Property values are at an all time high and many families would like to move in.
@publicpolicyman Agreed, housing fund and north shore are like oil and water. the ultimate free market is to pick up and move. Vote with your feet. The amenities paid for through our tax dollars and the red tape around new construction make your existing home worth more than ever. Walk the walk
@publicpolicyman A new indoor pool and aquatic center would be great. Though centennial is very nice. Isn’t this the point of local government and taxes - to build things the community wants? If you want to live somewhere without public goods, I’m sure there are places where you could move.
@publicpolicyman Don’t all properties in the new trier township feed
into new trier high school? That is a “connection”. The township newsletter sent around a few weeks ago does well to describe the work they do. What does abolishing NT Township have to do with freedom, liberty or opportunity?
@publicpolicyman If local electorate were opposed to this, they could vote out NT township leadership. Or move out. The “problems” you highlight in your posts make sense for lower income or immobile voters, the exact opposite of NT. If you don’t want your tax dollars spent on this, move. Simple
@publicpolicyman This clearly wasn’t a random B&E. Better question is why that house? Remember a few years ago when a shootout broke out on Sheridan during a similar “B&E”?
