Mokena OK Despite Poor Tax Revenues
Trustee Donald Baumhover reports a gloomy Illinois Municipal League forecast but expects Mokena to be less affected than others. State and local revenue, including sales and income taxes, decline while MFT funds fall due to energy conservation. Despite pressures, Mokena’s diverse base helps hold sales tax steady at about 256000 for this year with no planned rise for 1982-83.

Initiative petitions ruled invalid in Illinois ballot fight
Patrick Quinn of the Coalition for Political Honesty vowed a court challenge after the State Board of Elections rejected enough signatures to qualify a citizen initiative for the November ballot. The board found 252,008 valid signatures required, but only 247,777 met conformity rules, with 18,000 plus initially collected signatures ruled invalid. The issue hinges on the residency rule from a 1979 law, and a May 24 hearing will reconsider the case.
