Fayette County Board Approves Tax Levy Ordinance and FY27 Budget

Following a Truth in Taxation hearing that saw just under 50 county residents in attendance to speak or voice thoughts and concerns on the county’s proposed tax levy, the Fayette County Board on Tuesday night approved the yearly tax levy ordinance, appropriations ordinance and the Fiscal Year 2027 budget during their monthly meeting. The board heard an hour of public comments during the Truth in Taxation hearing which is required when a taxing body looks to have a levy increase more than 5% over the preceding year. A presentation showed that the current county portion of overall tax bills is 14.41% and the proposed tax levy would add an additional 0.98% to that amount. A short discussion including remarks from a couple board members were heard before the board approved a motion for the tax levy ordinance by a vote of 9 to 3 with board members Joe Wills, Ryan Tompkins, Pat Click, Jake Harris, Jacque Durr, James Wehrle, Ashley Towler, Scott Ray and Mack Payne voting in support of the motion while Dan Lutz, Scott Workman and Mike Black voting in opposition and board members Sean Hannagan and Michael Butts not in attendance for the meeting. County Board Vice Chairman Pat Click says the issue is not a pleasant one and the concerns the board heard from the residents was a good reminder that the county needs to continue to be efficient and transparent.

Can Springfield get to the end zone?

Good Tuesday morning, Illinois. The election is over. The politics, not so much. TOP TALKER BEARS BEAT : The Chicago Bears are heading back to the negotiating table in Springfield, and lawmakers say they want to get a stadium deal done before the end of the year — even as the battle to replace House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch begins to take shape. Agenda item: The Bears legislation is expected to be a major focus when lawmakers return to Springfield for veto session next week. The challenge will be finding a compromise that keeps the team in Illinois without putting taxpayers on the hook, while navigating competing interests between Chicago and the suburbs. State Sen. Bill Cunningham , the Democrat who has been central to the stadium negotiations, said discussions during the legislative break have increasingly centered on a stadium-authority model that would allow a municipality to build a privately financed, publicly owned stadium. “There seems to be a settling on this , trying to move forward with the stadium authority model,” Cunningham said during a legislative briefing with your Playbook host, and presented by Lincoln Forum and the Union League Club of Chicago State and Local Government Subcommittee.

People are still talking about Nov. 4 Springfield city council meeting

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Springfield city council watchers Tuesday would not let the mayor and aldermen forget how last week’s meeting (pictured) ended, with aldermen and audience members shouting after the meeting officially ended. Mayor Misty Buscher adjourned that meeting while some people still expected to have their turn to speak.
