Plainfield Trustee Jim Racich Announces Support for Library

Rachich urged residents to remember that the future of Plainfield depends on the strength of present action.

PLAINFIELD, IL — Plainfield Trustee Jim Racich has announced his support for the Plainfield Public Library expansion.

Racich said in a release that he does not want to live in a community that refuses to support the “total cultural advantages that a dynamic library can offer.”

“Often we hear or read claims that supporting the future library referendum will place an unreasonable tax burden on area residents. I strongly feel that a lack of positive support stems from ignorance and defeatism,” Racich said. “Denying this referendum on March 15 will send a strong message to everyone wanting to invest in our community. A message that Plainfield is grounded in stagnation and mediocrity.”
