Wasting State and Local Tax Dollars

Hey!

We’ve got a twofer.

Not only has the Huntley School District leased 12 more buses than it needs (and guess who pays for that mistake), but “officials say the district would lose about $18,000 in state reimbursements if it returned the buses early,” according to Thursday’s Daily Herald article by Jameel Naqvi.

So, not only do Huntley School District 158 property taxpayers get to pay for school district waste, but all of us taxpayers in Illinois get to share the burden.

$18,000 of our money will be wasted reimbursing Huntley School District 158 for the approximately 50,000 real estate tax dollars it is spending to lease buses it doesn’t need.

More on Saturday.
