Chicago Heights Mayor made City's Finances, Image a Priority in 2011
Posted on 2012-01-05 09:48:03 CST
Shortly after taking office in May, Mayor David Gonzalez saw to it that the number of liquor licenses available in the city was reduced and that no more pawnbrokers or precious gem brokers could open up businesses in the city.
After polishing the city's image, he set out to fix its money issues.
"My big goal in 2011 was to take care of the finance problems that we were facing with a deficit budget that we were working under," Gonzalez said.
He said a $46 million bond refinance completed in December enabled the city to raise the property tax levy by only 1.5 percent, significantly lower than the 9 percent increase he said Chicago Heights officials had approved the previous year.

Apparently, cops in Chicago Heights are strong.
Really strong.
In fact, they're strong enough to pull a 180,000-pound aircraft 20 feet in less than nine seconds.
Now, take into account they actually paid someone to do this, and we can all tip our hats to the muscle-bound men and women in blue.
The Chicago Heights Police Department, along with 25 other Illinois teams donated at least $1,000 to the Special Olympics of Illinois to participate in pulling a 90-ton plane on Sept. 24.
