Letter: Morton Grove should restore senior utility discounts

We hear now that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is proposing a discount in the water and sewer bills for senior residents in single dwelling homes there. The village of Morton Grove previously gave such discounts to senior residents until officials considered the small income they were missing, so they revoked it. While the village spends plenty of money elsewhere, such as on remediation for contaminated land at the former site of Maxwell’s Restaurant, surely it can find alternate ways to prop up the general fund that supports the village expenses.
