La Grange resident, Jonathan Robinson, has been charged $4,371 by the village of La Grange, Illinois for proposed changes to the zoning code, which he paid to receive a Plan Commission hearing. Robinson was without an attorney and proposed several measures, including recording meetings, requiring developer meetings with neighbors, restricting developments near single-family houses, and monitoring meetings. The village's staff recommended against these proposals, but the Plan Commission agreed with recording meetings and mandating neighbor meetings. Robinson claims he sought a meeting with village staff for help with the process but was told the village doesn't assist in such matters. He is now pleading for the village to drop the latest $2,871 bill.
