At the suggestion of Steger Village President Lou Sherman, village trustees have decided not to invest in a suburban Cook County-based economic development group.
Sherman said the village’s current budget could not cover the $260,000 requested by the Chicago Southland Alliance. He told trustees that committing to the request–to be paid over five years–would be “spending money for future boards.”
Village Trustee Anthony Santori, the board’s liaison to the village’s Planning and Zoning Commission, cast the Village Board’s vote against rebuffing the alliance. “I’ve got to vote no only because I’m part of planning and zoning,” he said.
