Plan for some extra time on your Tuesday commute. The roads will be jammed with people out to vote on their local referendums:
On the April 6 ballot, little Deer Park is asking voters to increase the village sales tax to 8% for three years beginning in July. Officials say the increase, which should mean more than $700,000 a year in new revenue, is needed because of revenue losses caused by the pandemic.
Voters being asked to increase their property and sales tax bills, in one case to avoid the ‘nuclear option’
Deer Park wants to raise your sales tax to pay Clarke Mosquito to spray the Village with insecticides:
The Village has entered into an agreement with Clarke Mosquito Control
Mosquito Abatement
If it passes, the Deer Park sales tax referendum will trigger a 4-stage action plan:
-
People who stay indoors do not shop in Deer Park.
-
Deer Park must raise the sales tax to pay Clarke Mosquito to spray the village.
-
People flee indoors to avoid the insecticide spray.
-
GOTO #1
Don't forget to cut this out and take to the polls on Tuesday, April 6!

Is it “Death and Taxes” or “Taxes and Death” like they say in Third Lake?
