Did you know....

...that for over 3 years the Developers and Village haters have been claiming that the Village is a bad idea because it only means more taxes for less services. Yes, that is correct.  That has been their rallying cry since the Village was just an idea in someone's head.  They fought and fought and fought at every turn to stop the Village and then destroy the Village, all under the guise that they were protecting YOU.  Well guess what Campton, THEY LIED TO YOU!!

Since the Village was first formed, there has not been a single tax increase to residents related to the Village.  NOT ONE! As for services, we now have a police department that responds in seconds to your call, not hours like it used to be to get a County Sheriff. That is called progress.

But let's get back to Kristen's Village hating diatribe. The Tax Increase is in fact real for some in Campton Hills.  You see, prior to the Village the Developers were required to pay a minimum impact fee to build their neighborhoods. The impact fee paid for roads and other infrastructure needed for the additional residents and traffic that development always brings.  Now the Village comes along and creates a real impact fee on the Developers. JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE.

So who is pissed off by this? THE DEVELOPERS. The one Developer that has taken the lead on this attack---well we all know who that is don't we----B&B Enterprises. They don't like the Village because it costs them money. So for more than 3 years now they or their related companies have hired lawyers to attack the Village and financed virtually every single attack against the Village, including many candidates.  This includes Kristen. Does anyone think it is a coincidence that Kristen hired the same attorney to attack the Village as B&B did?  I wonder who is actually paying for the legal services?

Time and time again the Developers attack the Village, and each time they lose.  Who else loses?  You do ~ Because these attacks have cost the taxpayers over $1,000,000.00.  How do we know this?  Because Kristen touts this on her web page, as if she is somehow proud. For $1,000,000.00 we could have built a beautiful recreation center for our children, a library, or even LOWERED our taxes.
