Park Taxes Debate at Cook County Parks Association
John J. Connors president of the Dalton Park District board and other officials attended a Cook County Small Parks Association meeting in Park Ridge on Wednesday evening October 26. Representative Schnackenberg, sponsor of a bill to consolidate Cook County parks under state control, said he would not vote for the bill unless a referendum is held, which would defeat it. The proposed bill would likely double local park tax rates if enacted.
