The Proviso Insider weblog has learned that Proviso School Board President Emanuel "Chris" Welch was the keynote speaker at the Maywood Rotary Club Luncheon on Thursday, March 12, 2009. Welch spoke to the organization and fielded numerous questions. Among those in attendance were Maywood Mayor Henderson Yarbrough, Trustees Gary Woll and Audrey Jaycox, and Deputy Police Chief Brian Black. Trustee Jaycox also spoke to the group. Reports from those in attendance say Welch and his message were received quite well.

Time To Dump Gary Woll & Company...

The current Maywood Village Board, that includes Mayor Henderson Yarbrough and Trustee Gary Woll, recently voted to settle a lawsuit for $490,000. The village of Maywood missed deadlines and caused delays in a failed grocery store redevelopment, resulting in the village paying a $490,000 lawsuit settlement to the developer, according to court documents.

Springbrook Market and the village executed a redevelopment agreement in December 2005 to bring a full-service grocery store to a vacant building at 5th Avenue and Washington Street. Instead of a grocery store, Maywood got a bill for $490,000. Thanks Gary Woll and Company!!!
