The Northwest Herald ran a big article on page three about Governor Pat Quinn signing State Rep. Jack Franks’ bill to “allow” consolidation of two insignificant tax districts in McHenry County.
See the article entitled,
Jack Franks’ Push for Local Governments to Consolidate Allows Two Cemetery Districts to Die
The part of the Jack Franks’ bill signing story on page 4 of the Northwest Herald.
On the jump page, the NWH headline is
“Only two McHenry County taxing bodies could be affected by new law”
Those two tax districts are:
- the Nunda Township Cemetery District
- the Richmond Township Cemetery District
The amount billed by the two tax districts this year was $44,348.05.
The total tax bill of all tax districts in McHenry County was $797,394,337.99.
= = = = =
To say that this bill is not a big deal is an understatement.
I can’t access the NWH web site or I would have linked to the article.
Question for Jack: How much money was spent on your latest foray into consolidation b.s.?
When will the voting public wake up to the fact that the problem which needs to be addressed immediately is the Prevailing Wage laws and run away property taxes to support paying those ridiculous wages??
Valley Hi continuing to tax and tax when they really do not need it.
School Superintendents who do practically nothing.
Prevailing wages benefit unions NOT taxpayers!!
Of course the Northwest Herald made a big deal over this piddly piece of populist pablum – Jack franks has an opponent this year and they must do whatever they can in order to protect their McHenry County Golden Boy.
Just like the media at large does with the Enemy of the State residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
