Monday’s La Salle County Board Meeting, board members approved the tax levy of $74.4 million by a 20 to 6 to 1 vote. The new tax rate will go up nearly four cents to $1.01 per $100 of equalized assessed value. Board chairman Jerry Hicks mentioned that property values throughout the county continued on a decline this year, adding into the decision of raising taxes. Overall, property taxes are up nearly $700,000 this year, going from $23.3 million just under $24 million.

What services would you like to see cut in order to eliminate raises in taxes? Oh I don't know, how about we START with Parks and Recreation? How about we bid out Maintenance? I wish my buddy Dittmer was still around here, he could rip 30 percent out without thinking hard. But I am SURE you will counter about how our Sheriffs department will be gutted unless we kiss Hick's ring. |

Here are 3 Ideas Combine the Courthouses for 1 why does LaSalle County Need to use Both Courthouses when the One Downtown costs a Fortune to Heat and Cool and MAINTAIN the SOB. Second Sell that Freaking Nursing Home that has to be a Money Loser. If Livingston County was Smart Enough to get rid of theirs why can't the Idiots in Ottawa Figure that one out. I know why called they have Relatives that more than likely Work there. Lastly is the Sheriffs office remember we are the 2nd largest county in Landmass in the state so we have a lot of Ground that has to be covered. Just those 2 Ideas might squeeze 3-4 Million out of the Budget.

If the States Attorney and Judges were harder on criminals in this county I wouldn't mind as much. They need to hand out more severe punishment to make criminals not want to set up shop here. Look at how Livingston County is.

True Rag and the Other Judge that got picked up for DUI would have been REMOVED from the BENCH in Liv County in a heartbeat. Here in Good Old LaSalle County they are Still on the Bench and working what DUI and Drug Cases. It seems in La Salle County if your an Elevated offical notice how I did not say Elected you can just about get away with anything you want look no Further than the Mayor of Naplate and his Running over of a Cop while Drunk. What did that take over a Year before Charges where even Brought. Didn't Ragullia freaking hammer a Light pole Lit up in La Salle and no Charges where Pressed there also. I mean this county is Beyond Corrupt Cook County should start Taking LESSONS FROM US anymore.

Don't stop replying, though. I DO get a kick out of your attempts at comebacks...it's like listening to my grandchildren argue.

Ironeagle, I concur with everything you point out on your post. If the average citizen would have drove off, he would be dead, like that mentally touched young man in Lexington,illinois, for not paying for gas. He was well known at the station, and had done it before. The po-po officer blasted him in the back of the head after he had passed him.
Jack-booted thugs. Drunken judges and people of authority.
