I Cite the Village Board for Code Enforcement Violations.

I do hereby declare the Village of Bolingbrook board members (Mayor and trustees) each receive a citation for improper lawn care.  I would like to put a lien on Trustee and Mayor's homes if they do not pay it.  Since I am a taxpayer, and this is the treatment the rest of us get, I think it should be the same for them.

So you want to know what I am babbling on about? 

 As residents, you would expect your community to not sacrifice services to the residents since the taxes are so high.  I mean, other states and towns do not contribute as much in taxes as Bolingbrook, IL does.  For example, in FL, TX, AZ, IN and others most cities, villages, and towns pay under $3K per year in property taxes, low sales tax, low gas tax, but still have top notch Police, Fire, Ambulance, and lawn care.

So we wonder who is in charge of the lawn care in Bolingbrook and why has it been so neglected this summer?  For example, if you drive down Boughton Road (and many others) you will see the medians with a foot deep of weeds and tall grass.  Had this been in my yard, I would have been surely cited by code enforcement.

Yet we are paying the bills for this, aren't we trustees?  So who is responsible for the lack of care?  Did we not pay them, did we not negotiate enough because of mis-spending, or is it the company that needs to lose the contract?  Regardless of which one, the Trustees and Mayor are to blame for no service. 

Therefore, I am citing you each with code enforcement violations of improper law care.  Please pay this money into the Village taxing bodies as a reimbursement for charging us for lawn care that was never supplied.
