Kane Co Board Spending…

The Board Office of Community Reinvestment has opened  applications for the 2025 Grand Victoria Riverboat fund grant program. The Kane County Board has allocated $1,066,613 to support projects (run by NGOs)  that strengthen local communities and enhance the quality of life for residents.

Can we be confident about the selections of winners since the process is at risk for funding of NGOs favored by one political party versus another? 

Lots of hands out for Kane County $!

Opinion Comments

We the people of Illinois can no longer fund this scale of government. There is one solution that will best serve the interest of the people of Illinois- Reduce the size of state government:

*Collapse the thousands of taxing entities by consolidation or ending of such powers,

*Workforce reductions to get people off the IL payroll, using outsourcing for services or ending programs,

*Restructure the debt burden via bond markets and long-term loans,

*Re-write pension and benefits programs for public sector employees with caps on both to keep costs under control in future years.
