McHenry County College Asked for 10% Tax Hike This Year
Dateline April 17, 2012. Finance and Negotiations Committee, McHenry County College.
Trustees Dennis Adams, Ron Parrish, Carol Larson present, Barbara Walters absent.
President Vicky Smith and Chief Financial Officer Larry West.
The minutes tell of West explaining that “the College went out for a levy representing a 9.9% increase, but the actual levy, once figured by the County, came out to a modest levy increase of 1.97%.”
Of course, it was the Real Estate Tax Cap that saved McHenry County Taxpayers from the 10% tax hike approved by the College Board.
The Board Taxed to the Max, as most other governmental entities in McHenry County did.
