ORDINANCE PASSED AMENDING CHAPTER 11.72 ENTITLED
"VEHICLE LICENSES' OF THE ELGINMUNICIPAL CODE
Mayor Verbic: I am going to vote against this ordinance,
I feel that the increase of 150% is too high. In my estimation
this is too much, too fast , with all the things that are contemplated
for the people of Elgin. I do think we have to do things
in modernization and I don't think we should put that much
on their shoulders in such short period of time.
