Grayslakes District 46 Votes to Support Tax Increase
Grayslakes District 46 voted last night 5-2 to support putting a 1% sales tax increase on the ballot this November. The two members voting against this tax increase were Jill Rohrer and Kristin Coe Peek. Please send them a thank you note. It is a shame that the other board members who were elected on a no referendum pledge supported this referendum.

Grayslake Elementary District 46 board members late Monday voted 5-2 in favor of a November countywide sales tax referendum question on whether to hike the sales tax by 1 percentage point. District 46 board members Jill Rohrer and Kristen Coe Peek voted against the proposal. Under a new state law, school boards representing at least 51 percent of the student population of a county are allowed to adopt resolutions to place the sales tax proposition on the ballot. Local county boards can put the tax boost to a vote on their own or at the request of school boards. |
Lake County already has the highest property taxes in the Midwest, and yet these school districts want more and more money. There seems to be a never ending stream of taxing methods desired by the schools.
So…where did this board stand on paying off the Blue Ribbon Foundation to get the good rating they didn’t earn?
