Update, 10:55 p.m. Monday, July 2, 2012 Orland Park residents are one vote away from receiving a property tax rebate from the village, for the first time since 2009. The village’s finance committee gave the go-ahead for the full board to take a vote on a $2.5 million rebate of property taxes, culled from a handful of capital projects that were under budget, and other sources. About $490,000 came from selling land on the southeast corner of 143rd Street and LaGrange Road to Marquette Bank, while construction on the intersection had just under $382,000 that can be put into the rebate. (Look at the attached document to see the full list of savings sources) The average return if 19,000 applicants send in for the rebate would be about $137 per …

I think Mr. Fotopoulos is right on the mark. Property tax rebates were not given for the last few years, but started again due to an election.

I'm happy to vote for him in the upcoming election. more ›
