Contact your Illinois State Representative and State Senator
Governor Bruce Rauner is proposing a 50% cut to funds that are shared with Illinois cities from the State Income Tax. This could mean a loss of $1.2 Million in revenues to the City of Carbondale which would have to be compensated for in increased local taxes. City government is the form of government that is closest to citizens and there is more day to day interactions than at the state or federal levels.
Please take the time to contact our Illinois legislators: Terri Bryant, Brandon Phelps, Dave Luechtefeld, and Gary Forby. Tell them to not cut any funding from the sharing of Illinois Income Tax with cities which will only create more hardship in providing services to citizens at the local level.
