Comments on: Village’s Spending Way Out of Whack http://www.schaumburgfreedom.com/taxes/villages-spending-whack/ Transparent Governance, Lower Taxes, and Eliminating Corporate Welfare in the Village of Schaumburg.

Who makes the decision to purchase such expensive items at the tax payer's expense. It makes my blood boil that our property taxes are going up and the village can waste money on things that the average taxpayer could never afford.

Heaven? If they don’t come or “don’t affect” from the Taxpayer’s or taxing bodies as you claim, then where does the $120 million come from? Heaven?

That is ridiculous on its face! Taxes don't grow on trees for the Village to harvest. The money for this TIF district comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers plain & simple. Joe-

Brian may I suggest you seek anger management assistance. Not suprising coming from a person that bashes Abraham Lincoln.

The Tif taxes collected do NOT effect the tax payers at all as the taxes are the same with or without the TIF. He has no idea what a TIF district is & needs to do his homework better. Maybe Ron Paul his mentor can help him. As usual Brian is incorrect & misinformed. The Tif taxes collected do NOT effect the tax payers at all as the taxes are the same with or without the TIF.
