Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau went on a name calling rant filled with lies and falsehoods, attacking critics who have demanded that he be accountable in his 2023 State of the Village Speech. It was hosted by the Orland Park Chamber of Commerce. Instead of focusing on Pekau's sales tax hike or his new utility tax on residents taxes that harms business and residents the Chamber cheered Pekau's false political claims without even a peep, never questioning the oppressive tax hikes that will burden Orland Park property owners. The smoke and mirrors attacks are intended to distract voters form Pekau's tax hikes and poor management and make him look like the "victim."
