The City Council will hold its meeting tonight in City Hall at 7:30 pm. Once again on the agenda (.pdf) is discussion of trees!
The Council agenda specifically lists an appeal (.pdf) from homeowners on Western Ave. who seem to believe they are sharing their property with a potentially killer tree -- the only large tree currently growing on their property. According to our sources, the homeowners say this potentially killer tree could strike at any moment! Also, according to our sources, the homeowners may have a home addition in mind somewhere in their future -- if, of course, they can secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity by getting rid of this potentially killer tree.
Or they just may really really really hate yard work.
The PRU Crew feels these homeowners should quit trying to bullshit the Council about their extreme fear of this potentially killer tree. Didn't they notice the damn thing when they bought their house? If they want to build an addition, and this tree is in the way, they should say so. And the City Council should see fit to find a way to allow home improvements on private property that may require the removal of a tree.
Another tree, not specifically listed for discussion on the Council's agenda tonight, is the Park Ridge money tree! You know -- the one that grows the dollars the Council likes to give away to special interests! Tonight the special interests of community groups are scheduled to get the next bushel full of handouts (.pdf)!
The PRU Crew sure would like to see the Council harvest some dollars off that Park Ridge money tree to fill the growing deficit hole in the City budget!

Who knew Herr Schmidt was Norwegian?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpEh4RkQHcAWell done Mayor Schmidt. The crowd appreciated your attendance and efforts at this weekend's parade.
Mange tussen tak, Charlie.
Northern Germans are halfway to being Norwegians.
At least he's not from Norwegia.
Neither are Norwegians, but we figure you already know that.
The Park Ridge Money Tree
Pay to play?
Let's hope not.
the aldermonkeys are like little disobedient kids who make immature uneducated decisions.
Unfortunately they represent US.
At last night's City Council meeting, Mayor Schmidt stated SEVERAL times that we should not spend more money, or eat the % of increase in water fees from the City of Chicago.
However, it was decided that the City of PR would pay the large part of the increase in water fees instead of passing that on to residents. And, of course, they chose to increase the funding to community groups because it was a "human need" issue. I see NO human need issue with funding the arts, but that's what's called PORK...ya slide it in with the rest.
PAY ATTENTION Park Ridge! They are making decisions that affect you, and the budget of the city which is more and more in the hole every day. Somehow they just sit there and smirk (some chuckle), and pass their spending requests like there's no tomorrow.
Of course, to offset all this spending, Bach thinks that you can just "cut city staff". He stated that he was SHOCKED there was no organization chart for "this building". That's your shock?!
You jackass.
Gypsy I completely agree with you on last nights meeting. Bach just likes to hear himself talk...Ryan is the one who irks me....he just can't say no to anything. Then there was Wsol's speech. Scolding the residents who dared suggest we not fund the community groups at the same level as last year...
When it comes to too slick, cheesy local politicians, when you say "Wsol," you've said it all.
And he's supposed to be our "conservative" on the Council? Man, are we screwed!
