“It’s going to be tough,” said Village Administrator Michael Pollocoff during Thursday’s work session with the Village Board. “And I don’t see 2011 being any better.”

Pollocoff said village income is being hurt by a 15 percent cut in state shared revenue. Less development has hurt fees and income from building permits, zoning permits and engineering department services, and are projected to decrease a total of $447,635 next year.

Trustee Mike Serpe suggested the public help out. “Maybe they could keep culverts clear and watch the house on the corner where the kids are gathering,” he said.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, classic serpe...

I like the comment from the serpe during the 122nd fiasco, sooner or later the people that live in our subdivision will insist on the road going through...that was right before he tried to get some of my neighbors fired at their workplaces...

He wants to keep the culverts and ditches clean so that they are much easier to throw people into.

I understand where he's coming from. People do need to step up and help out where we can in this economy, such as trash pick-ups. Maybe he should recommend something more formalized before he states?? Like volunteers for Triathalons. There are some rewards one can earn from Village for participating.
