State Tax Change Would Divert County Funds From Illinois Central
Centralia Illinois January Representative Fred Pullen introduces a bill to divert seven percent of the Illinois Central railroad gross earnings from state coffers to county public funds. The measure would extend taxes to Illinois Central property but not create a lien, with county collectors crediting the corporation and deducting from state tax remittances. Counties listed include Alexander Union Jackson Perry Clinton Marion Fayette Shelby Christian Macon DeWitt McLean Jo Daviess Effingham Cumberland Coles Champaign Ford Iroquois Kankakee Will Clay and Cook. Cook likely gains most, while Marion and Centralia would see notable benefits in wealth and population terms.
