Chaucer on Crystal Lake's TIF Districts - "The Ongoing Saga of the King Shepley of Crystal Lake
King Shepley desires to have, not only his subjects pay extra booty for the enhancement of his domain, he wants those subjects outside that domain to share in the “privilege” to “donate” some of their money. But they should not expect to get anything in return.
Perhaps this is really just a continuation of what a prior king of this domain of Crystal Lake began in 1991 when on behalf of the domain he entered into an agreement with an aggregate company to mine all the sand and gravel on a portion of a road that ran from Virginia Road in Crystal Lake to the Fox River.
