> After many long weeks of meeting with city.  The township board  
> will be meeting and deciding on the level of support for the  
> township.  Last month at the April 24 Joint meeting - City staff  
> presented the township case.  Basically, there was nothing new.   
> The looming issues are the same as they were when I took office:
>
> Tax Caps
> Township Tax rate (0368) one of the lowest in the state of Illinois
> TIF District
> Tax Levy
>
> Now that the required reserves have been spent - the township has  
> no other choices but to look for other resources to support the  
> mandated services.  As many of you know - prior to the April 17  
> election I asked the City to support the township - to prevent  
> cutting the poorest of the poor from assistance.
>
> They decided to Study the issue.  In February I was forced to cut  
> over 50% of the township clients.
>
> Tonight is the FINAL study session to determine the level of  
> assistance to GA CLIENTS.
