Sorry to see what has happened in Park Forest and Richton Park. For so many decades into the early 90s both towns were great places to live with decent public schools. And that’s not a comment on the change in racial demographics. It is a comment on how high property taxes and the State’s anti-business climate have destroyed the business vitality of the entire area.

The township government has enough dough from their red light traffic camera scams and it should fund the food pantries.
