Yes on a grocery tax - Forest Park Review

We’d call it a no-brainer, but we’re still happy to give the Forest Park Village Council full credit for passing a new 1% tax on groceries sold locally. The back story here is that Gov. JB Pritzker, in a show of political theater, made a splash last year when he killed the same tax on a state level but allowed individual burgs across the state to implement a local grocery tax. Local communities were already paying the state grocery tax. So wi…See the Story

New names on the Wall - Forest Park Review

The Wall of Renown, the Forest Park version of a Hall of Fame, is about to be updated. Overdue. The display, on the lower level of village hall, was invented by the Historical Society of Forest Park in 1984. It was last updated in 1998. Among all those who have risen up in service to Forest Park over these past 27 years, just 13 worthy names will be added to the wall ahead of a public reception on July 28. It is best-in-class for certain. Of cou…Forest Park, Illinois · Forest Park Read Article

There is hope – just not today - Forest Park Review

It bears repeating: the current occupant blathers on incessantly because he deeply needs attention. It doesn’t matter to him that he’s lying almost all the time. He does not have a belief system, just a visceral need to be noticed. He does have very efficient antennae for detecting what his “base” seems to want, and he repeats back to them what they say so that they themselves believe he’s on their side. He’s not. He manipulates them. His purpos…Forest Park, Illinois · Forest Park Read Article
