Lake County Commissioner Gerry Scheub says that he hopes thousands of Lake County taxpayers show up to let the Lake County Council know how they feel about a new tax imposition at tomorrow’s 4 p.m. Council meeting.

Before voting to veto the income tax Dec. 19, (Commissioners Gerry) Scheub and (Fran) DuPey said they were embarrassed to be Democrats because the Democratic-controlled County Council had not allowed residents to voice their opinions on the tax proposal.

Scheub threatened to leave the Democratic Party if the council did not allow testimony before Friday’s vote to override the veto.

“I just hope there are a thousand people there Friday,” Scheub said after learning testimony would be allowed.
