Letter - Taxpayers shouldn't fund historic preservation

Allowing the village to pick and choose homes in Hinsdale to get special treatment at the expense of taxpayers is totally inappropriate and un-American. Specifically, in regard to the Frank Lloyd Wright house at 121 S. County Line, a simple Google search returns pages of privately funded organizations designed to help save and rehab Frank Lloyd Wright homes. I suggest the owners look to those organizations for assistance rather than their neighbors’ wallets. As for other owners of multi-million dollar “historically significant” homes I suggest starting a GoFundMe. Those who are so passionate about saving these homes can donate freely. The village should eliminate this discriminatory program immediately. — David C. Cox, Hinsdale
