Pritzker: School boards ‘didn’t take the hint’ on property taxes – Muddy River News (Quincy)

State lawmakers have increased annual K-12 funding by more than 2.5 billion since 2017. More state funding should mean easing the burden locally, Pritzker said. “But you know what? School boards didn’t take the hint,” he said Monday. “And so they’ve continued to ratchet up property taxes over and over and over again, and that has led to a continued very high property tax burden on homeowners across the state.”
