ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

i noticed that this did not make the news as usual with the unreporting that goes on in this town. No one in tinley shows up to vote so since our elections in april, the police have gotten a raise(they work real hard)and now the d230 workers just received a 3 year NEW CONTRACT where they get a 3 percent raise each year to go in line with inflation. It is so nice that us taxpayers do not get raises for inflation and the values of our homes keep going down but these people who are paid by our taxes keep demanding more. I as a taxpayer do not believe these people should get any raises, should all take pay cuts as they were off all summer and when their contracts come up for renewal we the taxpayers should be the ones saying yes or no NOT THE SCHOOL BOARD.
