City Council spends frivolously despite shortfall
"It's no secret. The City of Evanston is in financial crisis. Aside from the $145 million deficit in the police and fire pension funds, the nationwide recession is crippling market-based revenue sources, such as the real estate transfer tax.
With this in mind, it's hard to imagine how the Evanston City Council could justify investing $1.2 million to renovate the Clark Street beach, as it did in a measure passed by a 7-2 vote at Monday's meeting."
