This is financed by property taxes authorized by passage of a referendum on April 1, 2003, establishing a tax not to exceed .025% of assessed valuation for the purpose of funding social services and transportation for McHenry County senior citizens.
Disgusting.
More of the already beleaguered over-taxed citizenry’s money pissed away.
In Illinois, you don’t own your homes and businesses, you are merely the custodians of such.
Social services are garbage. Not wanted. Not needed. I’m a senior and would NEVER have a use for ANY of this claptrap.
Abe is right on the money here.
Pissed away is what is imperative.
These are all scams that blow big bucks on ‘administrative salaries.”
Don’t believe me? Examine their budgets!
so Harvard gets 50,000 with quarterly reimbursements and 10,000 with monthly reimbursements
what does this all mean?
what do they use the money for?
I would really like to know
