Mayor Ed Zabrocki said he prefers that two men who were accused this week of illegally filling an ice rink donate the water fee to charity. The duo cited said they didn't mean any harm. They're eager to make it right.
Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki doesn't want two men who were cited this week for tampering with a fire hydrant to pay a fee to the village. Rather, he prefers they donate that money to a local charity. "We're gonna let the kids pay the $130 or so for the water and instead of them giving it to the village, we're going to have them give it to Tinley Wish," Zabrocki said on Thursday. "These kids were wrong in what they were doing, but this isn't nuclear physics … They were trying to do something productive. It was definitely wrong, but this is not a felony we're talking about." Police found a 500-foot long fire hose Sunday that was illegally connected to a hydrant and running into a 93-foot by 41-foot ice rink in the backyard of a home in the …
