  Hofeld, heading the Greater Homewood Party, is opposed by former village Trustee Bill Frank, who's running on the Homewood First Party slate.
  ...
  Frank said Hofeld's administration has attracted major retailers at the expense of local shops and has given away far too much in tax revenue via incentives - to the detriment of local schools and the village's quality of life.
  ...
  It's the local businesses, not the major retailers, whose names are on the back of Little Leaguers' jerseys, Frank said.
  
  "Small business is what built Homewood, and we can't abandon that attitude," he said.
  
  Frank, owner of TravelBrokers/Carlson Wagonlit in Homewood and four other locations, has chaired the annual Homewood Days festival since 1992.
  
  He was chairman of the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and president of the Homewood Area Chamber of Commerce in 1995, 1996 and 1998.He's on the board of directors of the Prairie State College Foundation and Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
  
  Frank also served on Homewood's planning commission from 1996 through 1999 and founded and was treasurer of Homewood Junior Vikings Football in 2002.
  ...
  But Frank thinks one of the big issues in the village is that the village board is out of touch with community opinion.He referred to the 2004 home rule referendum question that was rejected by 70 percent of voters.
  
  He also cited the utility tax, which he said was imposed as a penalty on residents for defeating the home rule referendum measure.Frank said he would push for the board to rescind the utility tax for seniors, disabled people on fixed incomes and for taxing bodies.
  ...
  Frank also advocated a term limit for mayor.
  
  Running with Frank on the Homewood First slate for village trustee are Tormer trustee Thomas Kataras, a restaurant manager and owner of a catering business; T.J. McHugh, director of school improvement at a Glen Ellyn school district; and Judith Stewart, a developmental therapist.

  Bill Frank, owner of Carlson Wagonlit Travel/Travelbrokers businesses in Homewood, Mokena and Highland, Ind., said that although he is a steadfast Democrat, and a Blagojevich supporter, he is not happy with the governor's tax proposals.
  
  "I don't agree that businesses in Illinois should shoulder the burden of the budget," Frank said."It really seems like he's packing it on (Illinois corporations)."
  
  Frank said he is opposed to taxing all business and corporate income.
  
  "He (Blagojevich) wants to limit the use of foreign tax savings.Fine, I'll do that," he said.
  
  Frank is also against an increase in special taxes on service business, and cited the high fees already paid by Illinois trucking firms.
  
  "As far as the straight line depreciation - I don't get it - explain it to me," he said.
  
  Frank, a Homewood resident, is a member of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce board of directors as well as a past president of the Chicago Southland Chamber.
  
  "By closing loopholes, he is closing the deductibility of expenses for businesses operating in the state," he said."How can companies remain in business if they can't maintain their bottom line?"
  
  Frank said the governor should "take the hit" and have Illinois residents pay a little more tax.
  
  "He swore he wouldn't do it (raise taxes)," he said.
