Spending Beyond Lisle's "Means"

To spend more than you take in for 8 consecutive years, you need to spend even more than what was spent on Lisle's "Taj Mahal" and "Downtown Money Pit" - here are some of the other ways you achieve the dubious distinction of Lisle Trustees' 8 year record:

• The Village paid 941.95 to Vidtech for "2011 State of the Village"  (a presentation that looks like it was prepared by middle school students - apparently none of the 117 full time employees of the Village knows PowerPoint)
• The VIllage paid 274.00 for a subscription to the Daily Herald  (maybe their browsers don't let them get to the free online version)
• 134,277.07 to the Lisle Visitors and Convention Bureau (you just can't make this stuff up)
