Income tax keeps down local levy in Matteson
Matteson village trustees approve a 1989 property tax levy of 1.48 million, same as last year, with a possible rate drop to 92 cents per 100 of assessed value if property values rise 3.5 percent. The town will use 115,000 of state income tax revenue to fund pensions and the South Suburban Recreation Association, reducing funds available and prompting plans to return unspent income tax money to residents.
