$90,000.00 TO FIGHT ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN LAWSUIT.

ALMOST $100,000.00 was spent on Attorneys fees by Highland Park to defend against the Lawsuit brought against the City of Highland Park and their UnConstitutional Assault Weapons Ban. Expect Tax increases to help pay these mounting legal bills and the estimated $700,000.00 loss the City will suffer, when they are forced to pay the Court costs, Attorneys fees and other expenses. I understand that Highland Park has the money and that is why they are the ones being sued instead of some poor town that would not be able to pay up... when the bill comes due. The City of Highland Park has Sub-Contracted all 911 Emergency Calls to another town, not completed the Beach Project or kept the snow cleared from the downtown last winter, due to budget constraints... but they have money for a lawsuit against them. Just as a reminder, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Deerfield, Highwood, Glencoe, Northbrook, Wheeling and Waukegan and many, many more voted against the "Assault Weapons Ban", saving their residents this huge expense in attorneys fees and court costs. You can thank Mayor Nancy Rotering and her merry band of misfit councilmen for this fiasco. The Illinois State Rifle Association will welcome the windfall of cash and put it to good use... suing for more gun Rights in this oppressive state. Thank You, Mayor Rotering, City Councilmen, Rep. Scott Drury, Gov. Pat Quinn and all of the others whom made this lawsuit possible. Residents of Highland Park, you voted for these fools to represent you and now the cost of your indiscretion will continue to cost you dearly, while the towns and cities around you benefit from your mistake. Highland Park is like the Alamo... surrounded by towns that allow FREEDOM and that have respect for the Constitutional Rights of their residents.
