Here’s the response to my request for information about the decorative Route 14 street lights paid for with money from people all over McHenry County through the Virginia Street Tax Increment Financing District:
The memo to merchants says there’s a “hardware” problem.
They bought some ugly garbage and now we are stuck with the problems.
That letter does not explain the fact that the “decorative lights” have now been replaced with new, much taller, lights.
Who paid for the new lights?
Not much of an explanation.
Was this letter written by Dickie Durbin’s staff?
Sounds like it.
