Western Springs Could Lose $149K Under Quinn's Proposal

Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed Illinois strengthen its troubled finances by freezing state income taxes shared with local municipalities at 2012 levels, reported the Chicago Tribune.

It's a move that could cause Western Springs to lose between $68,000 and $149,000.

This is based on 2010 U.S. Census numbers and state calculations showing the impact to local budgets would be $5.30 per resident, and estimations from the Illinois Municipal League that reflect the impact would be $11.50 per resident, according to the Chicago Tribune.
