If you want to know more about the proposed food and beverage tax, make plans to attend the next Team Hammond Taxpayers' Group meeting on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at the Woodmar United Methodist Church, 7320 Northcote Avenue in Hammond. Meet and greet will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the general meeting to follow at 7:00 p.m.
Our guest speaker for the evening will be Ms. Christine Cid, 2008 Lake County Council President. Ms. Cid will speak not only on the food and beverage tax but the 2009 county budget and other county-related issues.
As County Council President, Ms. Cid played an important role in getting the 2009 county budget reduced by $15 million.
Bring yourself, bring your friends and neighbors. The food and beverage tax is just one of several new taxing proposals the county will be addressing in 2009. This tax affects everyone living in Lake County. You don't have to be a Hammond resident to attend this important meeting.
As always, refreshments will be served. See you on Tuesday!
