Making a Stand… continued
On Monday, I posted about Robert Young, a citizen who is making a stand against the stubborn municipality of Campton Hills, which has blocked lawsuit after lawsuit from unhappy citizens who wish to un-incorporate from the viillage.
Today, I want to share the stories of two more Campton Hills citizens who are taking action in this situation.
Bill Lundberg has lived in Campton Hills with his two children for 10 years. Susan Secondi has spent three years in Campton Hills, and recalls local family roots. Like Bill and Susan, other local residents appreciated the rural independent atmosphere that the area once had before being incorporated into the village of Campton Hills. The debate now circles around the best type of governing body for preservation-is a municipality a better agent to fend off developers?
Not if you can’t trust them.
Bill and Susan have honest concerns about the direction of the newly-appointed village leaders. There is a substantial lack of transparency, and this taxing and spending in the dark would make any citizen uneasy.
But Bill and Susan haven’t given up yet-rather than get steamrolled by the village, they are taking action, and stepping up to the plate to run as candidates in the election for village trustees.
