I would love to have more time in my life to attend meetings, listen in on all that’s going on in this town, but I don’t have a job where I can commit myself to anyone or anything due to the hours I work, I have to be at my job when they need me here in addition to the hours that are set already for me, I am in management, and we need to keep the farmers, construction workers and the average consumer going.
Other wise I’d make all the meetings, post my concerns there and add my 2 cents during those meetings but I have a family of 5 to support and for now, working is all I do and am really happy to be working.
So I use the paper to get my point across or points and concerns.
All these concerns I had where voiced along time ago during Jim Willeys time in office.
Nothing was done then either.
I think this town would benefit from a hardware store in many ways.
It would help generate revenue, money that would have come in if the economy didn’t come to a grinding stop. instead now the village will get it from the average home owners in the form of higher water bills and other things.Or streets have gone to crap in the mean time and wonder where the money will come from to fix them.
I am all for bringing in useful business to the village, not another bar.
If you go to the Jewel at night you will find teenage kids that are perfectly able to work, but do not because there are no jobs, another good reason to bring in more business.
Now back to what am I going to do about it, What can I do about it?
I write and hope someone will hear me and agree with my thoughts and those who have time to attend meeting can get this resolved.
Put it like this, if I did have the time, I’d never have to write and I would have run for mayor or a seat on the board so until that happens, I will write!
Have a good day Mr. Step up
ps. what is it you want for this Village?
Joe

A simple call to the Village Hall got me that information. He loves to hear from residents, feel free.

So Joe, you have a lot of complaints and don’t offer one solution. What do YOU plan to do about the lack of a hardware store. Were you at the Village Board meetings when the liquor permits for the new restaraunts were discussed to voice your opinion? Skate park, community pool, park district? What have you done to help those ideas along?

Step up.

The mayor will profit from this decision since its at his old place of business.
