For those in Grafton Township arguing that building a new town hall and garage won’t cost taxpayers any additional taxes, I again offer the analogy of Daily Herald reporter Jeffrey Gaunt:

It’s a little like tacking 10 years onto a five-year prison sentence. You’re already in prison, the argument goes, so what’s a few more years.

Gaunt wrote it about Carpentersville School District 300 in January of 2006.

More information about the Northwest Herald editorial cartoon of Rod Blagojevich in prison, part of which is seen above here.

Today is the court hearing in Woodstock about whether a permanent injunction should be imposed prohibiting the building of the proposed new $3.5 million (plus over $1.5 million in interest) Grafton Township Hall.
