Orland Park Survey

The Dec. 29th edition of the Orland Park Prairie newspaper published an article that the Village wanted to conduct a survey to find out how the people think the administration and staff can improve Orland Park.

The paper conducted their own survey asking such questions as: the need to fill empty stores, repair roads, timing of traffic lights, more bike and pedestrian paths and others.

The cost of the new village survey(s) would be around $30,000.

In these difficult times do you think a village should be spending $30,000 on things they should already know? All of the questions asked in the newspaper have been around for some time. Isn't the staff and Board of Trustees competent enough to handle these issues?

What ticks me off is when the people filled the hearings for the Orland Plaza they ignored us. They wouldn't listen and gave no credence to the issues raised. They wouldn't compromise. Only one trustee voted with the people. Now they want the people's opinion.

Give me a break. That proposal has only one place to go and that's the trash can. Don't be fooled. They can't afford $30,000 and they don't want your opinion.
