Our Visionary Geniuses

Cook County is poised to buy a commissioner-owned golf course. As the Chicago Daily Observer asks--what fiscal crisis? Maybe they will cut down below average trees and turn it into a parking lot, as the village visionary-geniuses did in Wilmette's now bankrupt Mallinckrodt development. My friend John Powers lays it all out in his St. Barbara blog.

Gee, maybe they can sell Mallinckrodt to Cook County and turn it into a forest preserve?...too bad, they already cut the trees down. Maybe our trustee Lali Watt can (quietly) advise interested parties (again) not to cut down all the trees at once...it might look bad. Such genius.

P.S. Yes, truly an unsung heroine:

For her work on the Mallinckrodt campaign Lali was awarded an "Unsung Heroine" award by the Cook County Commission.

Remember, you have a voice, folks
