Cook County News Herald

Double standard for different businesses




My husband and I are totally disgusted and more than a little angry concerning Mayor Jay Arrowsmith DeCoux’s comment quoted in the June 25 News- Herald which read, “It’s not the city’s job to tell people how they can use their property. But we do need to ensure that they are in compliance.”

Funny, the city sure made it their job when Dollar General wanted to open a store, and clearly “compliance” means whatever the city decides it means as they can change the rules arbitrarily when faced with opposition.

What a double standard! How thoroughly disappointing.
