VOTE NO FOR 9-1-1 INCREASE

OPINION EDITORIAL
By Joseph Wiszowaty
If it doesn't make sense, you shouldn't spend your dollars!  Voters are voting this Tuesday on an increase in the Village’s 9-1-1 Fund from the current cost of $1.00 per phone and cell-phone lines to $2.00 per line.  Sauk Village has 9-1-1 service already and spent $1.9 million on updating the Village's 9-1-1 Center several years ago. 

A NO VOTE is ENCOURAGED for the 9-1-1 Referendum because you get NOTHING MORE IF YOU VOTE YES and it doesn't make sense!  If you take anything away from this, you must vote NO.  

Mayor David Hanks' supporters want you to believe "what's $1.00?  Isn't the Village worth it..."?  Well isn't principal worth something too?

 “Forward Motions”? Come on people, this is the most asinine thing I have heard of doubling your cost of the Village’s 9-1-1 under some bullcrap of providing improvements!  REALLY….
 
What improvements has this Administration proposed to make?  NONE what-so-ever!

To vote YES to this is giving David Hanks a free hand to “borrow” money from this fund without the bobble heads giving a damn about it!

The 9-1-1 Board has NOT voted to recommend an increase in the 9-1-1 Fund that you residents pay, yet David Hanks feels that he needs to raise revenues.  Why is nobody asking this man any questions and giving him Carte Blanche leaving him to his own devises.

VOTING NO on the 9-1-1 measure ensures that David Hanks and the Bobble Heads will not rape the fund to pay for bills.

NOT ONE DIME OF THIS MONEY goes to pay for salaries!  Not a single DIME!   Hanks has already been talking about contracting the dispatchers out begs the question:

Why should residents PAY MORE and GET LESS? Does that make sense?

IF THE RESIDENTS WERE GETTING SOMETHING MORE FOR THEIR MONEY I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF THIS REFERENDUM 110% BUT THEY GET NOTHING!   Tell David Hanks and the Bobble Heads they need to do a much better job than they are doing today!

A NO VOTE is recommended on the 9-1-1 increase!
