A hearing on the merits of the Park District of La Grange's latest petition to sell 2.82 acres of Gordon Park is scheduled to begin Tuesday morning in Cook County Circuit Court. The public is welcome to attend.
But those persons unable to attend can watch a video of a forum on the topic held Sept. 8 by the La Grange Citizens Council.
In the video, Tom Beyer, an attorney for the La Grange Friends of the Parks, a group of residents who oppose the sale, describes the legal issues involved, explains the Friends' positions and takes questions from the audience.
Admittedly, it is a one-sided presentation. The Park District was asked to participate but declined the invitation.

Wouldn’t your readers like to be as informed as possible, by reading the Sept. 9th, 2010 article from the on-line newspaper called the La Grange Patch.

As stated above admittedly one-sided, this snippet of a longer video doesn’t point your readers to watch all 4 parts of the recording to observe numerous reactions by the presenter and some of the people in the crowd, including Citizen Council members.
Online, there are 4 parts to the video from the La Grange Citizen’s Council:
