More New Trier news - they want higher taxes
Meet your elected representatives:
Tuesday, November 3, 7:00 p.m.
New Trier Board of Education meeting, Room 301
385 Winnetka Ave., Winnetka (east campus)
Don’t pass up this opportunity to see the plans developed by the Chicago architectural firm, Perkins & Will, and judge for yourself whether the building project merits the $185 million (plus) cost and tax increase. The members of the Board of Education will be there, and maybe there even will be some dialogue with the tax-paying community. Chances are, the board will decide to put the tax increase referendum for this construction on the February 2 primary election ballot - while many North Shore Snow Birds are out of town. Then, if this maxed-out scheme fails at the polls, the board can scale it down a few million and try again in November. That’s they way it works, folks.
By the way, conservativeBrand’s property tax bill arrived today: a 7 percent increase, most of which is due to school taxes. Nice timing.
