Wilmette Could Lose $300K 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, a move that could cause Wilmette to lose between $143,500 and $311,500 in revenue and raise taxes between 2.5 and 3 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.
