Cicero Taxpayers Shell Out $1,000 for Rubber Chickens

Cicero activist David Jenkins says that tax money could have been put to better use educating children or filling some of the town's many potholes.

"Cicero needs to improve. The quality of life, property values, education," Jenkins said. "There's better ways of spending that money."

So where do you get 250 rubber chickens at a good price? Luckily, Rosemary Konz owns a novelties business called "You and Me" in nearby Woodridge, and it just so happens Konz is a paid appointee sitting on a Cicero town board and her mother is a Cicero trustee. "You and Me" gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in Cicero business.

If they owned a military contractor instead of a novelty store then they wouldn't have to put up with this kind of criticism.
