A year and a half ago in November of 2011, Crystal Lake city officials gathered in McCormick Park to dedicate the improvements along Virginia Street financed by that street’s Tax Increment Financing District.
Among the improvements were low and high street lights that matched.
During the week of rain, I was stopped at the light at McHenry Avenue and looked at the lights.
They were not the ornamental ones put there with TIF money.
No such thing as a free lunch. TIF – gotta spend it or you loose it attitude does not always work so well.
So, since I am paying for this…
Where are MY lights?
I demand to know what they did with MY LIGHTS!
