Unincorporated Orland homeowners blast mayor’s annexation move
Unincorporated Orland homeowners blast mayor’s annexation move. Residents of Unincorporated Orland Township blast Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau for trying to grab their lands and violate their rights. Residents say Mayor Pekau failed to properly notify them of his plans that began quietly in 2022 and continued to 2023 before residents could address the board at meetings August 19, 2024. The village asserts there is a Memorandum of Understanding, that most residents have not seen. Pekau’s assertions he “must act” before Oak Forest and Palos annex area is fantasy. Homeowners say they are concerned about Orland’s increased taxes and fees, failure to file financial audits, and Pekau’s constant bullying of residents who question his actions.
