Demands for Bid Process Results in Cost Savings for Printing of Tinley Park, IL, Village Newsletter

The same politically connected firm that has printed Tinley Park's (IL) triannual village newsletter for about 10 years will continue to do so but at a price that potentially will save thousands of dollars as a result of town leaders seeking bids for the work.

Trustee Dave Seaman, chair of the finance committee, said the village's decision to bid "absolutely" led to a lower cost.

"There's no doubt that the bid process, in most circumstances, helps sharpen pencils," he said.
