This would be terrible for Salem Lakes
Can you imagine the traffic through Wilmot or down 83 through the town. Total madness. This isn’t the change the citizens wanted. This board is clueless.
If you don’t want to go to a water park then don’t. Why try to ruin it for others?
Gary please move to Gurnee, it great there.
Just like Pleasant Prairie they build a pool and when it does not make money they stick it to the taxpayers to pay for their wish list.
Well, that’s it. Rita, do you have any shame. Is this your and Cassandra’s secret society, how about Hopkins, is he involved? How about you Gandt? I’m almost positive Brooks is in favor, she already said basically whatever Cassandra needs. Poli is a No. How about you Faber? Did you know about this. I can’t believe Barhtye would support this.
Admin Hiller this Village isn’t your blank Canvas, Please go paint somewhere else.
This is what happens when you hire an overpaid Illinois resident to run your Village. Let’s hope the comprehensive plan she is trying to push through fails, that’s the only way this stuff can be built.
http://lwm-info.org/DocumentCenter/View/10369/Zoning-Code-RFQ-2025?bidId=
Wait a second….maybe we all have not understood why the wetlands were destroyed in the first place. Could it be that Cassandra is planning on making “Wetland World” behind the village hall? Maybe the eventual plan is for the walking path to turn into a giant go-kart track? Perhaps there could even be bumper boats in the pond?!
Boy oh boy! Wouldn’t it be fun if there was a waterpark in the wetlands? There could be a roller coaster that goes right over the village hall! The people on the rollercoaster would even be able to window shop 50 feet in the air if they looked at the used car lot next to the village hall! Salem Lakes just gets better and better!!!
Hip-hip hooray for Cassandra! 🥳
Oh, absolutely—what a dream come true! I’ve always wanted to spend half my day idling in traffic so that out-of-towners can splash around and grace our water park with their… contributions of pissing in our water park. A round of applause to whoever green-lit this visionary plan. And of course, the cherry on top? A dazzling $100 tax reduction! Who cares if you can’t make it across town before dinner—think of the savings.
And the traffic? Please, it’s not like we already dread the seasonal backups from the Fair or Country Thunder. Why stop at “temporary misery” when we can upgrade to “perpetual gridlock”? Genius.
Then there’s the brilliant hire from Illinois—because nothing screams “local representation” like importing an administrator whose appointment the community explicitly opposed. It’s a bold move, and it’s very democratic.
And Miss Hiller? She’s Santa Claus, if Santa brought building permits that take a year, enforcement squads on every corner, and taxes stuffed into stockings like coal. But hey—we’ll finally get that utopian infrastructure we’ve all dreamed of, complete with a shiny new police station, fire district, and a bureaucratic army to micromanage our lawns. How exciting. And don’t worry, Hiller won’t let wetlands stop her, that’s just a public works project away from being GONE.
Is there an opportunity to prosecute board members for treason? Waiting to vote them out is not soon enough!!!
