Tinley Together Unveils Party Platform Focused on Lowering Taxes

Tinley Park, IL – Tinley Together, a dynamic coalition of dedicated local leaders, today officially released their comprehensive party platform designed to address the core concerns of Tinley Park residents. Headlined by candidates Michael Patrick Maloney for Mayor, Cynthia “Cindy” O’Boyle for Clerk, and a strong team of trustees and park district commissioners, Tinley Together is committed to delivering real, community-first solutions.

“Our platform is centered on the needs of the people, not political insiders or corporate interests,” said Michael Patrick Maloney. “We are offering a clear vision to lower property taxes, strengthen public safety, and ensure that development benefits all of Tinley Park, not just a select few.”

Key Elements of Tinley Together’s Platform Include:

Lowering Property Taxes:
Tinley Together prioritizes putting residents before corporate giveaways. Under the current administration, tax incentives for large corporations have driven up property taxes by diverting critical funds away from schools, parks, and libraries. Tinley Together pledges to end these costly practices and fight for financial policies that prioritize homeowners and families.

Cracking Down on Increasing Fees:
Rising fees on essential services, including water, garbage, and property taxes, have placed an unsustainable financial burden on residents. Tinley Together is committed to delivering fair, affordable solutions that ease this burden and create a more livable Tinley Park.

Making Our Community Safe:
Tinley Together recognizes that a safe community starts with well-supported law enforcement. With three police chiefs in recent years, a near year-long lapse in contract negotiations, and resignations impacting the department’s stability, Tinley Together is focused on restoring leadership and ensuring officers receive the resources and respect they deserve.

Saying NO to a Casino and Racetrack:
Tinley Together opposes the current administration’s push to develop a casino and racetrack at the Tinley Park Mental Health Center. Instead, the coalition supports a redevelopment plan that prioritizes park space, recreational facilities, and community-friendly projects without burdening residents with additional costs.

“We need leadership that puts Tinley Park families first,” said Maloney. “Our residents deserve lower fees, safer streets, and development plans that reflect the needs of the entire community. We’re committed to saying NO to unnecessary projects like a casino and YES to smart redevelopment that benefits everyone.

“Our vision for Tinley Park is built on honesty and transparency,” Maloney added. “With your support, we can create a stronger, safer, and more affordable community. Let’s get to work.”
