Should taxpayers pay for the installation and maintenance of fiber optic cables for an empty field? ($203,000 plus $250/month maintenance fees) Take a look around at the empty office buildings/warehouses from Arlington Heights/Rolling Meadows area heading west near I-90. Some of these buildings have been empty for years. According to the State of Illinois Economic Forecast, February 2016, "Office-using industry growth in Illinois has slipped further behind that of the nation." Projected growth in this area is based on hopes and dreams. Residents are taxed enough.
