Change to County Plan of Poor Relief Explained By Farm Bureau
Illinois Farm Bureau views a shift of poor relief levy from townships to counties as a step toward equity. The plan, backed by John C. Watson, notes that most counties still raise relief taxes locally, while Cook and other counties avoid it. A new one cent retailers tax funds unemployables, reducing local levy needs. Farm Bureau plans a welcome at the Illinois State Fair with a large 60,000-member gathering and a Farm Bureau day featuring 4-H shows and activities for members and guests.
