Letter to the Editor: Council Should Remove Liquor Sales Subsidy with Lemon Tree

Resident unhappy with proposed sales tax rebate agreement between Village, Lemon Tree.

From community member John Schofield:

I sincerely object to the Village of Downers Grove the liquor store business contained in this measure.

Otherwise the Village is encouraging the business () to , and at the expense of tax-collecting competitors in Downers Grove.

The original agreement was to gain a "grocery store" for downtown Downers Grove, and instead we have a and handy liquor store that incidentally sells some high-priced groceries.

Please revisit the original intent and remove liquor sales from the subsidy.

Thank you!
