The county school facilities sales tax is a one-percent tax on prepared foods and entertainment that will go to fund important school upgrades. The money can be used for facility upgrades, school safety and mental health support. Currently, schools depend on property taxes and loans to fund those projects.
Absolutely right. I am from Champaign and the facility upgrades were from a $185 million referendum which was over budget by nearly $100 millions. No RE tax relief.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Just another School funding grab. Mental Health…wow, why is the School District in the mental health business? Focus people.
What ails Illinois education isn’t the level of per pupil funding.
Never any discussion of spending cuts, just ways to charge you more.
This will not do a darn thing for your property tax relief just another tax grab to spend spend spend.
