All 5 of the Trustees who said no to property taxes in 2004, have now voted in favor of the largest property tax increase in the history of Schaumburg.

The Schaumburg Freedom Coalition scored a major victory in getting the Village of Schaumburg to turn off a right turn lane red light camera that was responsible for 98% of the over $1,000,000 in tickets that were written over the past 3 months at the corner of Meacham and Woodfield Rd.

Area residents have only one opportunity, a March 24, 2009 Schaumburg Village Hall public hearing, to stop the $120 Million property tax increase proposed by Mayor Al Larson and the Village trustees.

A front page story in the Schaumburg edition of the Daily Herald about red light cameras, and an appearance by Brian Costin on Chicagoland WJJG 1530 AM Radio on the “Mornings with Ray Hanania” program.

Less than 48 hours after the Schaumburg Freedom Coalition launched the Schaumburg Transparency Project web page and posted key documents online, the Village of Schaumburg followed suit and posted the same reports to their publication website.

Trustee Tom Dailly has been on the Schaumburg village board for nearly 20 years, but he has decided to opt out when his term ends after the April elections.

Disgustingly, not a single board member voted against this resolution. The vote in support of eminent domain and resale of the property to a private developer was 6-0.

Let’s keep asking the village trustees and Mayor Larson that the Schaumburg wants comprehensive transparency reform in Schaumburg.
