Winnetka Could Lose $140K Under Quinn's Proposal

Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed to freeze state income taxes shared with local municipalities to generate an additional $68 million for the state budget.

 

Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed Illinois strengthen its troubled finances by freezing state income taxes shared with local municipalities at 2012 levels, a move that could cause Winnetka to lose between $64,591 and $140,150 in revenue and raise property taxes 1 percent, Chicago Tribune reports.

The state calculations show the impact to local budgets would be $5.30 per resident, while the Illinois Municipal League estimates the impact would be $11.50 per resident, Chicago Tribune reports.
