The few apartments and condos that Shodeen is going to build are not going to pay the bills. The village had a $700,000 shortfall last year. What about this coming budget? The Obama money is gone, the State money is gone, and yet Caesar continues to fiddle. This is not a recession, it is the new paradigm. How many years can Elburn balance it’s budgets by raiding the piggy bank? New ideas are needed. A much smaller government is the only answer, both State and local, and it is going to happen. Hopefully someone will have the testosterone to make the changes on our terms and not let Rome burn.
