Our Village Board members are paid $50.00 a month.
I grew up in DuPage county. Seems there is an ordinance for every little thing. Park your car in the street after certain hours and get a ticket. Heck, I even got tickets for parking my car in my own driveway because it’s looks were not to their liking. I suppose such is why I moved to the middle of nowhere New Mexico 20 some odd years ago. I get a kick out of driving my old pickup back there to visit family and friends. It really stands out in the sea of perfectly polished SUV’s every lady is driving. Always feel naked without the shotgun, AR, and at least one pistol in it though.
Right away, you have them over the barrel financially.
