In Maywood, Property Owners Can Eliminate Wasteful Spending and See Relief in Taxes by Voting Yes to Consolidating the Village’s Two Park Systems on Election Day
Critics Say the Village Must take Over the Maywood Park District Because It is Fiscally Irresponsible and Unable to Offer Programs Even Though It Collects $800,000 Annually from Taxpayers
On Election Day next Tuesday, residents of the Village of Maywood can do what no oversight authority or state agency established to protect Illinois residents from mismanagement has stepped up to do. By voting yes for a referendum to consolidate two entities that manage parks in the village, they can stop the poorly managed Maywood Park District, an authority independent of the village, from wasting nearly $800,000 a year of taxpayers' dollars that have produced no programs or community-wide events.
