Huntley Could Lose $280K Under Quinn's Proposal

Gov. Pat Quinn has proposed to freeze state income taxes shared with local municipalities to generate an additional $68 million for the state budget.

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 Huntley to lose thousands of dollars in revenue, the Chicago Tribune reports. 

Under the proposal, the village of Huntley could stand to lose between $129,097 and $280,117.
