Economic development and the future of the former state mental health center property are the top issues for candidates running for three trustee seats in Tinley Park.
Also running with Mueller, Brennan and Shaw is incumbent Clerk Nancy O’Connor, who is being challenged by Ahleah Balawender.Tinley Park trustee candidate Ken Shaw.Tinley Park village clerk candidate Ahleah Balawender.Galante said the biggest concern she hears from residents is the dispute between the village and the Tinley Park-Park District regarding the former Tinley Park Mental Health Center property.
The Park District is proposing uses including multipurpose athletic fields and a domed sports complex with a full-size soccer field. Regional youth sports tournaments could be held at the site, according to the district.Having the ability to host sports tournaments could bring in visitors from Illinois and surrounding states would help generate tax revenue for Tinley Park, she said.O’Connor, 63, was appointed clerk in January 2022.
“There is no legitimate reason for the village to have its own fireworks show and everyone knows it,” she said. “I am running to put the needs of Tinley Park residents first because our residents deserve better than petty political gamesmanship.”Mueller, 43, a software architect, said that maintaining a low tax rate and promoting economic development are among the priorities for the One Tinley group.
