Sen. Rose Slams Pritzker’s Plan That Will Raise Downstate Property Taxes – WMCI (Mattoon)

The Governor’s proposal to eliminate townships, state Sen. Chapin Rose argues, will not necessarily lead to more efficiency, but will instead force counties and municipalities to shoulder additional burdens for snow plowing, road repairs and cemeteries. In many areas, the shift in duties will result in higher property taxes and/or significant cuts to essential services.
