  • Two Trustees and 1 White Sox pitcher

    Maybe just a little bit more attention should be given to a local girl “Who just won the Silver Medal in the Olympics. Do we really need to know what Donn Paul thinks of the White Sox upcoming season? Next time Norm is on the show make sure you have plenty of bird food for his his pet parrot!😂King of the one liners “Absolutely”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mayor, Village Clerk and A Few Farmers
Q: Why is it important for the farmers market to run rain or shine?
Maintaining reliability keeps vendors and shoppers coming back, supports local businesses, and ensures the community can count on a steady, vibrant market throughout the season.
The Mayor, Village Clerk and A Few Farmers
Q: What were your thoughts on the parade?
The parade was fantastic, with the most entries in memory and large, enthusiastic crowds along the route, making it a great community celebration.
Our 2026 Favorites In Evergreen Park So Far
Q: What does it feel like to win Olympic gold and come home to Evergreen Park?
Abbey describes the moment as surreal and incredibly special, with overwhelming support from family, friends, and the community that makes the victory feel shared and meaningful beyond personal achievement.
A New Plan For A New Central Middle School
Q: What will the tax impact look like for a typical home, and how can residents estimate their own costs?
We showcased a scenario with a $300,000 home illustrating a reduced tax burden, and we plan to host a tax calculator on the website over the summer so residents can estimate the impact based on their own property.
A New Plan For A New Central Middle School
Q: So in your research, because I remember when this started, you did a panel. You had the mayor on the panel. For some reason, you picked me to be on the panel. You had a bunch of community leaders in this group. What were you hoping to learn from them?
We wanted to know if people found the project necessary and, importantly, whether they would be willing to support a higher tax burden for a better facility.
